"Calliope" Named Colour Of The Year By Cloverdale Paint
SURREY, BC, Sept. 25, 2026 /CNW/ -- As our homes continue to serve as places of restoration, connection, and self-expression, the colours of the year remind us that great design goes beyond aesthetics. The true essence of everyday luxury lies in creating spaces that feel meaningful, authentic, and beautifully lived.
Trish Picariello, Cloverdale Paint's Colour & Design Specialist reports, "Design is shifting away from the cool, clinical greys that defined much of the last decade. In their place, a richer and more personal palette has emerged, one inspired by natural landscapes, artisanal materials, and colours that evoke comfort and authenticity. This year's colour collection celebrates that transformation through hues that feel grounded, welcoming, and thoughtfully curated."
The colours shaping interiors this year reflect a growing desire for homes that feel elevated, personal, and deeply connected to the rhythms of daily life. They are found in thoughtful details, layered textures, and colours that bring a sense of comfort, calm, and understated sophistication to the home.
"At the heart of this movement is Calliope, a refined pink that perfectly captures the shift toward warmer, more meaningful interiors. Inspired by the soft beauty of pink quartz and the graceful Calliope hummingbird, this sophisticated hue balances delicacy with depth, creating spaces that feel both elegant and approachable. It's a colour that embodies effortless elegance. Balancing softness with depth, it creates an atmosphere that feels both refined and lived-in, proving that luxury is not about excess but about intentional choices that enhance everyday experiences," says Ms Picariello.
Far from the pastel pinks of the past, Calliope represents a new generation of colour. It acts as a versatile neutral, layering effortlessly alongside natural wood finishes, terracotta accents, deep blues, and earthy greens. Its warmth brings a sense of comfort and character without overwhelming a space, making it equally at home in contemporary, transitional, and classic interiors.
The 2027 colour of the year is supported by a cast of 10 other hues in a thoughtfully curated trend palette that brings comfort, craftsmanship and beauty into the home. Designed to complement Calliope, the collection balances soft, welcoming neutrals and tranquil blues with earthy browns, rich burgundy, sophisticated navy, restorative green and confident coral-red accents. Inspired by nature, handcrafted materials and the desire to live well, these colours create interiors that feel refined yet approachable, offering opportunities for both quiet reflection and personal expression.
Together, they reflect an evolving vision of luxury--one defined less by excess and more by everyday comfort, meaningful connection and thoughtful details. With an emphasis on warmth, depth and enduring appeal, The Art of Everyday celebrates spaces that feel collected over time, blending timeless elegance with the practicality of everyday living.
As our homes continue to serve as places of restoration, connection, and self-expression, the colours of the year remind us that great design goes beyond aesthetics. The true essence of everyday luxury lies in creating spaces that feel meaningful, authentic, and beautifully lived.
The 2027 Colour Trend palette is available at all Cloverdale Paint locations across Canada, and at participating Independent Authorized Dealers. Stores and Dealer locations can be found on our web site at cloverdalepaint.com/locations.
