24 Colours, Three Themes

Jotun's 2026 colour chart, Soulful Spaces, introduces a collection of 24 beautiful colours, thoughtfully organised into three unique themes: Passage of Time, Art of Stillness and Joyful Living, each with its distinct atmosphere.

Inspired by Charleston

As part of the global colour team's work on the 2026 colour chart, we visited Charleston Farmhouse in East Sussex, England. Once home to artists Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, Charleston was a creative hub for the Bloomsbury Group — radical thinkers and artists including Virginia Woolf.

A Sense of History

This inspiring visit reminded us that colour is more than decoration — it's a way to tell your story. Just as Charleston reflects bold creativity and personal expression, Soulful Spaces invites you to create a home that is uniquely yours.

Passage of Time

Passage of Time

Delivering an air of timeless elegance and bold sophistication.

That spirit of timelessness and depth is captured in the first theme of the collection: Passage of Time. With rich, classic tones like deep greens and sophisticated reds, this palette evokes a sense of heritage, elegance, and quiet strength — perfect for creating interiors that feel rooted, layered, and full of soul.

We chose Sophisticated Red, the perfect library red as the cover for the new colour chart. It is a true classic.

You don't always need something new — both the antique chest and the colour Coffee were created years ago, and they're still just as beautiful.

Behind the Scenes

Bringing Soulful Spaces to life was a collaborative and hands-on process.

In the video above, you'll catch a glimpse of the global colour team and stylists during the photo shoot — carefully crafting each scene to reflect the mood and meaning of the 2026 collection. From selecting timeless objects to perfecting the light and texture of every surface, the team worked to ensure that each image captured the emotional essence of the three themes.

“The collection invites you to create calm, restorative spaces at home”

This is reflected in the Art of Stillness theme where we invite you to slow down and create calm, restorative spaces at home. Whether you're painting a bedroom, reading nook or open living space, these colours offer a gentle foundation for moments of pause and presence.

Explore the Art of Stillness palette and bring serenity into your everyday.

Depth and Texture With Matt Finish

For the colour chart we have used matt finishes further to elevate these rich colours by absorbing light, adding depth and texture to the room. Their understated refinement makes them an ideal backdrop for artwork, standout furniture pieces and other unique design elements.

Dark, rich and elegant. The deep green colour Northern Mystic appear at its best in matt paint — a perfect match for collected items and curated interior elements.

A Celebration of Colour

Colours with timeless appeal don't just elevate a space — they shape how it feels to live in it. Drawing inspiration from nature, each theme in the Soulful Spaces collection blends hues that balance elegance with emotional resonance. Among them, the Joyful Living palette stands out for its uplifting spirit. With vibrant greens, soft pinks, and earthy tones, it brings a sense of warmth, optimism, and connection to everyday life.
