Last week, I got an early first look at the Lick colour edit of the year for 2026. What struck me the most about the colour palette of eight paint shades were three particular colours that have been major colour trends this year and, according to Lick, they’re not going anywhere next year.
These colour and paint trends are neutrals which, of course, never really lose their appeal. Instead these are statement shades, making their way into Lick’s colour edit exactly because of their playful nature. I’m talking about matcha green, butter yellow and cherry red.
