Colours to Know in 2026

Colours to Know in 2026

Colour is never just about walls. It moves through fashion, design and the way we live, quietly shaping how a space feels before we can even put it into words. For 2026, Jotun's colour experts have been watching these shifts closely, observing a growing desire for homes that feel more personal, comforting and beautiful. Jotun Southeast Asia Colour Manager and colour expert, Natrah Omar, shares her favourite five trending paint colours from Soulful Spaces, our 2026 Global Colour Collection.

 

Jotun 12308 Unbleached

The warm white worth knowing about.

It adds gentle depth to a space while keeping it light and timeless, the kind of warm white paint colour that feels equally at home in a bright living area or a quieter bedroom corner.

It's one of those interior wall colour ideas that works throughout the entire home, either on its own as a seamless whole-home base, or layered with deeper shades for contrast and warmth. Reliable for wall colour matching across rooms, and beautiful in every light.

A colour that doesn't try to be noticed. That's precisely why it endures.

 

Jotun 2149 Coffee

The deep classic that's back for good reason.

We created this colour many years ago, and it is now firmly back in conversation — not as nostalgia, but as a genuinely sophisticated house paint colour idea for spaces that want to feel layered and lived in.

 

Jotun 20054 Silky Pink

The pink that works like a neutral.

On large surfaces it creates an atmosphere that's soothing and quietly beautiful, the kind of modern interior colour idea that feels considered without trying too hard.

One of the best colours for a bedroom that feels like a genuine retreat. It transitions just as gracefully into a living room or sitting area, layering naturally with warm whites and soft naturals.

A gentle neutral, just with a little more soul.

 

Jotun 6194 Wild Ivy

For those who love a little colour.

Cool-tone interior colours can sometimes feel remote, but Wild Ivy carries a warmth underneath its confidence that keeps it feeling grounded and inviting. Use it on its own for a clean, confident look, or pair it with other colours to bring out the best of any space.

 

Jotun 1974 Golden Walnut

Quiet Luxury in an Earthy Mid-tone.

An interesting yellowish brown mid-tone that instantly brings warmth and a sense of quiet luxury to a space. The kind of earthy paint colour that feels both current and timeless, sitting beautifully alongside unglazed ceramics, aged brass and natural linen.

A warm brown interior paint with a depth that grows on you. It settles in, and then you can't imagine the room without it.
