Hidden Gem

Behr's 2026 Color of the Year is Hidden Gem, a smoky jade tone that works as both a soft neutral and a bold accent. This pick stays within the conservative neutral range, but ventures out towards a green and blue blend to introduce more color.

"Now, more than ever, there's a growing appetite for colors that challenge convention and bring an unexpected sense of wonder to everyday spaces," said Erika Woelfel, VP of Color and Creative Services, Behr Paint. "Hidden Gem captures that spirit in both name and color—its depth and refinement meets the desire for colors that are eternally stunning and stylish."
