BeautiTone, the number one Canadian-owned retail paint brand, has revealed its 2026 Colour of the Year, ‘Muse’ (TR26-4-3). Drawing inspiration from the depth of classical art, ‘Muse’ is a refined, earthy hue that brings a sense of grounded elegance to interior spaces.
More than just a colour, ‘Muse’ offers a sensory journey – bringing a sense of depth and quiet sophistication to any space.
“Grounded in historical influence yet thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary spaces, this year’s palette invites exploration of vintage-inspired pigments that pay homage to the artistry of classical painters,” said Kristen Gear, Colour Specialist & Graphic Designer, BeautiTone Paint and Home Products. “It encourages us to trace timeless brushstrokes while confidently turning our vision toward the future.”
At the heart of the BeautiTone 2026 Colour Trends palette, ‘Muse’ is one of seven hues accompanied by four supporting neutrals. Other standout shades include ‘Decadent,’ a layered red with rich berry undertones and vintage elegance; ‘Dusted Terra Cotta,’ a grounded, sunbaked hue softened by time; and ‘Whispering Laurel,’ a graceful green touched by ageless memories.
“The 2026 Colour Trends palette steps away from short-lived trends, offering timeless colours with deep meaning,” said Gear. “Each shade is designed to help people create spaces that feel intentional, expressive, and uniquely their own. It’s an invitation to create personal style with authenticity and purpose.”
BeautiTone’s 2026 Colour of the Year and full Colour Trends palette are available exclusively at Home Hardware, Home Building Centre, and Home Hardware Building Centre locations across Canada. ‘Muse’ and the other trend shades are offered in BeautiTone’s Designer, Signature, Pure, and PRO paint lines.
