Purple Violet Offers a Refined Statement
BlueStar® is proud to announce Purple Violet as its 2026 Color of the Year. Purple Violet embodies warmth and togetherness. The color was chosen for its rich, vibrant quality that extends the narrative of comfort and depth, following last year’s Signal Brown, symbolizing an emotional resonance and the importance of family connection.
Selected by Shumaker Design Associates to reflect a shift toward deeper, earthy-adjacent hues that combine warmth and boldness in home design. Purple Violet offers a refined statement, recommended to be paired with materials like antique brass, and dark woods to enhance its depth and create cozy, balanced spaces such as breakfast nooks or as a focal point on appliances.
Purple Violet’s depth feels like a natural evolution, rich not only in hue but in emotion. Its richness speaks to the bonds we share with family and friends, reminding us how vital togetherness has become.
