These are the biggest colour trends on Pinterest right now

From billions of searches and saves across Pinterest right now comes the official say on what’s trending in the online world. Keen chromatophiles will be delighted to know that the social moodboarding platform has finally released their Pinterest Palette 2026 – comprising a curated lineup of trending colours informed by their 600 million users’ online searches, offering a behind-the-curtain snapshot of what’s coming next in colour.

We’ve already heard from Dulux and Pantone on their colour of the year predictions, and we’ve even made our own trend forecasts, so now it’s time for Pinterest, the global visual discovery engine, to have its say. Read on for the top colours predicted to trend in 2026, as revealed by Pinterest.

Cool Blue

A cool, light blue, this frosty hue adds a stone cold chill to everything it touches. Searches for the cool hue have been on a steady rise over the last twelve months, encompassing everything from hip blue sneakers to modern blue kitchens and glacial blue waters. A colour that seems to go with everything, and evoking natural elements like the sky and the sea, blue is at-once serene yet alive: à la still water that runs deep.

When styled, this shade of blue can excel as a calming pop colour in bedrooms or offices, and impart a home spa with a sense of peace. But if you’re using it in your home, make sure to pair it with with a warmer colour to counteract the cool shade.

Jade

Somewhere between mint and moss, this shade of earthy energy blends serenity and sophisticated elegance. A far departure from “millennial green“, this muted, mossy colour is trending across interiors, accessories and fashion – another choice clearly inspired by our natural environment.

Use this shade as an accessorising pop in your home, from lamps, to zellige tiles and side tables. Or, go bold, with a touch of jade in your dining table and chairs or couch.

Plum Noir

Deep and decadent, this shade of rich, deep purple mixes notes of burnt burgundy with a swirl of velvet brown to sumptuous effect.

Small rooms are utterly transformed when drenched in this bold hue, making it the perfect shade for powder rooms or home spas. Or, watch this colour sing when paired with other, equally as glamorous, shades; this is one that can definitely hold its own.

Wasabi

This loud, electric chartreuse brings a vibrant kick to everything from makeup to moodboards this year. Not quite green and not quite yellow, Wasabi may seem a bold choice to some, but when done well, it can be incredibly impactful. We love it in retro designs and attention-grabbing accessories, from silk scarves to quirky appliances.

Offering a bold sense of confidence and an energising spark, it’s exactly the hue we needed to see after the barrage of neutrals that dominated interiors in previous years. Pair it with walnut to soften its impact, or take it to the next level with colour drenching, but whatever you do, do it with confidence. It’s what it deserves.

Persimmon

Part orange, part red, Persimmon is the feel-good shade making a splash in interiors of late – and we’re here for it. Another bold hue designed to enliven the senses, and one that works equally well whether colour drenched or as an accent, this playful, warm colour will make any space feel inviting.
