    5 Paint Colour Trends Taking Over Collingwood Homes in 2026

    Painted to PerfectionMay 2, 20265 min read

    Homeowners across Collingwood, Thornbury, and Blue Mountain are leaning into warmer, more grounded interiors this year. Here are the five trends our crews are painting most often in 2026.

    1. Earthy sage greens

    Soft, dusty sage shades pair beautifully with natural oak and stone — and they feel right at home in our forested communities.

    2. Warm off-whites

    Pure white is out; soft, creamy off-whites with a hint of warmth are in. They lift a room without feeling clinical.

    3. Sun-baked terracotta

    Accents of clay and terracotta are appearing on powder room walls, mudrooms, and feature fireplaces.

    4. Deep, moody navy

    Navy is still going strong — especially on cabinetry, libraries, and dining rooms where drama is welcome.

    5. Soft mushroom neutrals

    Greige is giving way to richer mushroom-toned neutrals that read warm in our long Ontario winters.
