A striking pink meets orange; coral is a shade we haven't seen too much of in recent years, with plaster pinks being the go-to safe choice for a warm paint color. Yet in 2026, we are slowly seeing this bolder hue making a resurgence as terracotta takes over from pinks and coral becomes a chicly daring trend to try – and designers agree it brings with it a deeply sophisticated, deeply timeless edge.
While vibrant shades like coral may once have been dubbed garish, this year's color trends embrace more striking hues packed with personality. Surprisingly classic if used well, the pinky orange hue brings a cheerful edge to interiors. From lavish home bars to beautiful bed nooks, it's proving to be a versatile color this summer and beyond.
