Why these colours?
After years of cool grays and greige, 2026 marks a shift toward warmth, depth, and biophilic calm. The macro-trend is warm neutrals + earth tones, terracotta, sage, warm stone, forest moss, with controlled dopamine pops of saffron and periwinkle for emotional function. Light Reflectance Value (LRV) is now a specification tool, not a footnote.
