Krylon Announces Its 2026 Color of the Year: Matte Coffee Bean

Timeless and Versatile, the Krylon^® Brand's Latest Color Trend Promotes Restorative Living

CLEVELAND, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Krylon^® brand has announced Matte Coffee Bean as its 2026 Color of the Year, thoughtfully chosen to embrace today's desire for classic, elevated design. Matte Coffee Bean embraces tranquility, speaking to the growing preference for spaces that feel both calm and connected to nature.

Selected by Lisbeth Parada, Krylon Color Marketing Manager, Matte Coffee Bean taps into the rise of dark neutrals like warm browns that offer a rich and restorative foundation for the home while welcoming versatility for many design styles.

"Matte Coffee Bean adds dimension with a natural, grounded allure, aligning with today's increasing appeal of organic minimalism," said Parada. "Inspired by elements like clay, wood and stone, this hue is a timeless yet sophisticated choice that elevates everyday spaces and invites a sense of harmony and serenity into the home."

As consumers lean into natural textures and elements, palettes that reflect raw beauty and timeless elegance are becoming essential. Matte Coffee Bean pairs beautifully with organic materials like wood, stone and marble, which encourage DIYers to create calming environments that promote well-being.

"This 2026 Color of the Year encourages consumers to focus on what matters, refresh the pieces they already own and craft with simplicity and longevity in mind," states Parada. "It celebrates the beauty of hard work, craftsmanship and practicality, capturing these trends in a quietly stylish and authentic way."

Matte Coffee Bean is supported by a complementing color palette that combines neutrals with warm accents to create a balanced, dynamic look. The palette includes Krylon^® Fusion All-In-One^® colors Satin Khaki, Hammered Black and Metallic Gold. Together, these shades create a cozy yet versatile collection that complements a wide range of organic design aesthetics.
