As someone of all things that have had color, I can't help but be excited when September rolls around – it is the season in which my favorite colors reveal their color of the year.
This time Glidden made his color trend forecast, and neutral could finally have a competition. For 2026, the renowned brand warm mahogany (PPG1060-7)-a deep warm red with subtle brown under tones of the year crowned shadows.
I have to admit when I heard Glidden's choice, I immediately started to imagine rooms that were soaked in this luxurious, inviting color.

Decorating with red may seem brave, but warm mahogany proves something else. This surprisingly versatile shadow hits a balance – moody and rich, without tipping over in excessive dark or heavy territory.
Its true beauty lies in its flexibility. The warm mahogany raises a room without screaming for attention, and offers depth without feeling overwhelming. Ashley McCollum, Glidden Lack Color Expert, explains:
“We are torn between colors that feel authentic, personal and safe, and those who give novelty, risk and excitement. Warm mahogany fits perfectly with style and history and fits perfectly with the 150-year heritage of the Glidden brand chicks enough to attract attention immediately, and is enough reserved to give up a timeless explanation. This color really survives the moment. '

The warm mahogany lives in a similar area as Glidden's color of 2025 Pila Basil – a deep, luxurious purple. Both shades are classic and yet brave and offer a lively way to bring a feeling of heir to inheritance and warmth to every room, with a look that is built up.
Glidden describes it like this: “With qualities that are quiet and loud, traditional and modern, playful and resilient, introverted and extroverted, warm mahogany encourages the home to accept it and tend to a color that is as functional as fashionable.”
Regardless of whether you channel cozy ideas for red bedrooms or just want to refresh a window frame or a door, warm mahogany is a user -friendly color that gives immediate warmth and personality.
If you are ready to use this year's color trends, you should combine a warm mahogany with complementary colors. By choosing the right colors for Red, your scheme remains demanding and inviting without ever feeling too brave or strong.
