Cranberry Township, Pa. — The Pittsburgh Paints Co. has unveiled its 2026 Color of the Year: Warm Mahogany (PPG1060-7), a rich red that is both dynamic and refined.

Warm Mahogany has brown undertones that ground a room, while its lively, red hues add warmth. and abundance.

“In 2026, we anticipate consumers will embrace opportunities to rest, rejuvenate and connect with others, prioritizing their wellness across all aspects of their lives,” said Ashley McCollum, color expert at The Pittsburgh Paints Co. “The desire for increased social intimacy requires spaces that promote togetherness, a core design focus that moves away from abiding to trends and delivers refined aesthetics that feel timeless and classic.”

Evoking references to shades of rust and reddened soils, Warm Mahogany links to tradition and craftmanship, with a connection to recharging oneself in nature.

Pittsburgh Paints says this year’s Color of the Year fits within four key design themes:

• Portal: A light, imaginative aesthetic that cleverly balances natural, airy spaces with hints of AI-inspired illusions in the form of unique textures, finishes and furnishings.
• Ode: A moody, introspective and often poetic journey into enchanted design, with a focus on social intimacy. This theme offers a sense art-full design, along with an interest in special textures, materials and ornamentation.
• Collective: Vibrant, lively and energetic, this theme focuses on gathering people, moments, prints, colors or mixed metals.
• Heirloom: The trend equivalent of a sabbatical, Heirloom steps away from shapes and materials that are “of the moment” and delivers refined aesthetics with understated appeal and elevated quality.
