Valspar recently announced Warm Eucalyptus as its 2026 Color of the Year. 

Warm Eucalyptus reflects a naturally restorative and serene feel, offering a calm and grounding design.

This is a color that encourages restoration and resilience.”

Supporting colors for Warm Eucalyptus are earthy tones, such as Valspar’s Degas Blue, a light blue with hints of green and gray, and Groundbreaking, a deep brown.

Warm Eucalyptus is available in a variety of Valspar interior, exterior and specialty products.
