They say the best finds are the ones you never saw coming.

Maybe it’s a quiet moment that changes your whole day. Or a small shift in your space that breathes new life into everything around it. Whether you're refreshing your mood or craving a refined reset, now is the perfect time to rediscover the power of understated beauty—and let your home speak for you.

Introducing BEHR® 2026 Color of the Year: Hidden Gem (N430-6A)

Meet Hidden Gem, a smoky jade that strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and serenity. With its artful blend of blue and green, this rich yet tranquil hue brings depth, confidence, and a grounded elegance to any room it graces.

This is not just a color. It’s a mindset.

Hidden Gem doesn’t shout—it whispers. It doesn’t follow trends—it sets a tone. Whether it’s covering the walls of a bold living space or lending character to a cozy corner, this hue redefines the familiar and turns the ordinary into something remarkable.

It’s the kind of color that quietly transforms everything it touches. Inviting. Elevated. Effortlessly chic.

Why Hidden Gem Works

• Versatility: Its balanced blend of cool and warm undertones makes it adaptable to a wide range of design styles—from contemporary minimalism to traditional comfort.

• Atmosphere: It creates a calm, grounding atmosphere that still carries a bold presence.

• Elevated Design: Paired with neutral textures or metallic accents, Hidden Gem feels modern and timeless all at once.
