Spring 2026 Color Guide: Haut en Couleur


Spring 2026 Color Guide: Haut en Couleur
This 50+ page PDF maps the color story emerging from The Textile Eye 28: Esprit & Ornament—palettes drawn from Maison & Objet, Paris Deco Off, and the showrooms surrounding them, documented across textiles, wallcoverings, upholstery, and rugs.
Haut en Couleur takes its name from a French expression for something vivid, expressive, and full of character—and that spirit runs through the season's range. The palette is broad: earth-warmed browns, wine-toned reds, mineral jadeites and malachites, and flashes of electric amber. Some combinations glow with high chroma; others settle into dusty, grounded tones. What holds the guide together is a willingness to let color speak—and a growing designer confidence in layered combinations that feel considered rather than cautious.
