Pinterest has announced its 2026 colour palette, highlighting the 5 shades that will inspire fashion, beauty, home and more
From cool blue to persimmon, meet the 2026 Pinterest Palette that will be inspiring our homes (and wardrobes) all year long.
When it comes to the colours you’re about to see everywhere, few know better than Pinterest. What colour to choose for your bedroom makeover this year? It has you covered. An on-trend hue to invite into your wardrobe? Say no more. The buzziest shades to experiment with in your beauty routine? No problem at all.
Each year, the site analyses the ideas we’re searching, saving and exploring to predict exactly what will cut through in the year ahead. For 2026, it has selected a five-hue lineup of full‑volume colours that are bold, bright and anything but subtle.
“For a long time, the safest choice was to keep things quiet and neutral. Now people are ready for more,” says Xanthe Wells, VP of global creative at Pinterest. “Pinterest Palette is an invitation to be a little louder with how you feel: to play, to experiment and to let your world reflect the life you actually want to live.”
So what are the shades predicted to be big for 2026?

Cool blue
Meet the shade that’s iced-out in the nicest way. This frosty hue of blue adds a stone-cold chill to everything it touches. It’s a whole subzero mood that’ll warm you right up. It’s no wonder, then, that searches are up by 85%, with the ‘glacier aesthetic’ a breakout search term.
Jade
Move over, pistachio; jade is the moment. Somewhere between mint and moss, this shade of earthy energy blends serenity and sophisticated elegance. It’s the glamorous green of all your dreamscapes: searches for jade marble nails have increased by 450%, while searches for jade accessories are up 135%.
Plum noir
Plum noir is for the plot. Deep and decadent, this rich, deep purple mixes notes of burnt burgundy with a swirl of velvet brown. Step into your villain era.

Sweet, sweet heat. Part orange, part red, persimmon is the feel-good shade making a splash. This colour is a burst of pure joy. The persimmon aesthetic is up by 100%, while orange suits have climbed in searches by 105%.
