Clark and Kensington's Color of the Year for 2026 has not been widely publicized as of early 2026 in major media, as Ace Hardware typically announces its Color of the Year in late fall of previous year through its website and press releases, and smaller house brands get less coverage than Benjamin Moore or Sherwin-Williams. Ace Hardware's Color of the Year program is called Clark and Kensington Color of the Year, and past selections have included nature-inspired hues. For 2025, Ace's Color of the Year was reported as a warm neutral. For 2026, Ace has not yet published a major announcement on its public site that is indexed in search results, suggesting either announcement is pending or marketed in-store rather than nationally. Ace typically selects a color that reflects trends toward warm, comforting, and earthy tones. To find Clark and Kensington's 2026 Color of the Year, you should check acehardware.com paint section, visit local Ace Hardware store where color displays show Color of the Year, or contact Ace customer service. Ace also releases annual color trends palette rather than single color some years. Unlike Benjamin Moore's Color of the Year which gets large press, Clark and Kensington's announcement is more low key. If you need color for 2026 projects, consider Ace's trending palette of warm whites, deep greens, and earthy terracottas that have been popular.
