From lush to luxe, Utah Style & Design’s Colors of the Year come from four revered paint houses that reflect the direction of design in 2026.
2026 Color Trends

Warm Mahogany by Glidden. Warm Mahogany evokes the classic luxury of aged wood, its red-brown depth radiating warmth and authenticity—a timeless hue that grounds any space with richness and deep-rooted intention.

Hidden Gem by Behr. Mysterious. Saturated. Captivating. The smoky jade of Behr’s Hidden Gem is subdued enough to layer with ease, yet bold enough to stand alone as a color-drenched statement.

Epernay by C2 Paint. Named for a French village famed for its vineyards and limestone architecture, Epernay is a warm ochre with soft mineral tones, timeless and inherently elegant.

Silhouette by Benjamin Moore. The darkest of the bunch, Silhouette blends dark espresso with notes of charcoal to wrap any space in moody, shadowed elegance.
