2026 Colour Trends According to Paint Experts

Message from the Editor

Fall is a season of change. Kids have a new school routine, colourful leaves fall from trees, and shorts and t-shirts are swapped for jeans and sweaters (at least in my wardrobe). It’s also a time I obsessively track paint brands' colour predictions for the coming year. Almost all the major manufacturers have now revealed their picks and the ‘verdict’ is split. The top story in this edition of HGO This Week is focused on the colour forecast given its influence on the furniture industry. Then, our feature includes a case study of a home appliance manufacturer that has brought digital sales tools to the showroom floor.
