RAL colour feeling 2026 is Light Teal. It “has a fresh feel to it without being too cold. Calm and serine, it is reminiscent of a sun kissed sky, making it particularly suitable for ceilings. Subtle yet charismatic, it is a wonderful balance to warmer palettes and natural materials.” Click on the image to see what else they predict on their website.

'The Pantone colour of the year is  PANTONE 11-4201 Cloud Dancer, a soft, ethereal off-white chosen to symbolize serenity, clarity, fresh starts, and quiet reflection in an overstimulated world, marking the first time a shade of white has been selected. This "lofty white" offers a blank canvas, encouraging mindfulness, simplicity, and a peaceful reset from constant noise, providing a calming influence and space for creativity' Click on the image to see more on their website!

Better Homes & Gardens (BHG) Australia's Colour of the Year for 2026 is Spiced Tangerine, a rich, warm, and expressive orange signalling a shift from safe neutrals to bolder, character-filled interiors that foster connection and comfort, inspired by 70s nostalgia and modern living. 'This shade has quietly crept from fashion runways and pop culture into interiors and lifestyle products, and it’s poised to be the defining colour of 2026.

From sunbaked terracotta walls to persimmon-hued accessories, this burnt orange embodies an indulgent optimism that feels both vintage-inspired, energetic and modern.'
