Florida Paints recently revealed its 2026 Colors of the Year, Grape Soda and White Pepper.

“This year’s colors tell a story of belonging,” says Santiago Quintero, Florida Paints color expert. “We found ourselves drawn to nostalgic hues that make a house feel like home. Grape Soda and White Pepper capture that story—bold and moody balanced with timeless and bright. It’s a sensory pairing that feels both modern and rooted.”

Grape Soda is a violet shade that blends vintage charm with modern sophistication, ideal for dens, dining rooms or accent walls. The shade pairs well with washed woods, muted metals and natural textures.

White pepper is a soft sand white with warmth that complements natural materials and brings elegance to interiors and exteriors. The color is best suited for trims, walls or full facades.
