2026 Color Forecast: Pacific Northwest Interior Paint Trends

2026 Color Forecast: Pacific Northwest Interior Paint Trends

This year’s palette draws from the misty forests, ocean blues, and volcanic greys of our stunning coastline.

The Pacific Northwest has always been a muse for designers, and 2026 is no different. This year’s interior paint palette draws directly from the misty forests, ocean blues, and volcanic greys of our stunning coastline. Here are the three colours dominating the forecast.

Forest Moss Green

A muted, earthy green that brings the outside in. It pairs beautifully with natural wood trim and warm brass hardware, creating a calming atmosphere that feels like a walk through Cathedral Grove.

Volcanic Slate

A deep, warm charcoal inspired by the basalt columns of the Island’s coast. Use it as a feature wall behind a fireplace or in a home office for a dramatic, grounding effect.

Coastal White

Not a cold, clinical white, but a soft, warm hue with the faintest whisper of grey—like morning fog over the Strait of Georgia. Perfect for open-concept living areas where light is at a premium during our darker months.

See our Interior Painting services to bring these colours to life in your home with professional-grade finishes.
