‘Transformative Teal’ has been declared the Colour of the Year 2026 by colour institutes WGSN and Coloro. According to the two, Transformative Teal is a fluid fusion of blue and green, reflecting the diversity of nature and an earth-focused mindset, aligning with the growing demand for ecological responsibility (in light of the climate crisis). The blue-green hue is described as calming and restorative, with a transformative and regenerative character.
