Spring is on its way. This is the season of reset: an opportunity to rethink colour, to combine tones in more considered, unexpected ways. Inspired by the mood and lightness of the months ahead, these are the combinations defining Spring 2026. Here’s to a brighter, more thoughtful use of colour.

Lean into deeper, earthier tones - ochre, saffron, Indian yellow. These shades add warmth and energy without overwhelming a space. Introduce it in smaller gestures: a painted piece of furniture, layered textiles, cushions, or a soft throw. Let yellow punctuate the room, not dominate it - confident, balanced, and perhaps just bold enough to impress even the most discerning bath-time observer.

The easiest way to get it right? Test it first. Once you've selected a few favourites from your Colour Chart, make sure to test them at home. A sample pot lets you see how the colour shifts throughout the day - in morning light, under lamps, against your flooring and fabrics. Paint a generous patch, live with it for a few days, and watch how it feels. The right colour won’t just look good, it will settle naturally into your space.
