GLIDDEN Paint Brand Brings Heritage Home With 2026 Color of the Year: Warm Mahogany

A color that outlasts the moment and owns the mood

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Don’t call it a comeback. GLIDDEN^® paint’s 2026 pick for Color of the Year, has always been a star. Warm Mahogany (PPG1060-7), a rich, warm-toned and timeless red, is a color with heritage that’s reimagined to adapt to the purpose and mood of any space.

A trend for anti-trend seekers, Warm Mahogany has long held star power in home decor, providing homeowners with relief from the boundaries of abiding to trends. Highly adaptable, the 2026 Color of the Year, takes the role of main character or supporting star in spaces that crave connection, rest and play. With qualities that are quiet and loud, traditional and modern, playful and resilient, introverted and extroverted, Warm Mahogany encourages DIYers to embrace juxtaposition and lean into a color that is as functional as it is fashionable.

“DIYers are faced with selecting a color that fits within the larger lifestyle of a space, not just one prescribed function or moment in time,” said Ashley McCollum, Glidden paint color expert.

“We’re torn between colors that feel authentic, personal and safe, and those that give a rush of newness, risk and excitement. Converging style and history, Warm Mahogany is a perfect match with the Glidden brand’s 150-year heritage — bold enough to draw immediate attention and reserved enough to make a timeless statement. This color truly outlasts the moment and owns the mood!” McCollum added.

Glidden color experts especially recommend Warm Mahogany for interior walls and trim, for spaces such as:

• Bedrooms: For your personal chill zone, Warm Mahogany creates a cozy, calming atmosphere that’s perfect for winding down after a long day. It’s like wrapping your room in a soft, warm blanket. The color’s depth helps a space feel intimate and stylish without being too dark or heavy. Pair it with soft linens and warm lighting. To keep it fresh, add pops of cream, blush or greenery to balance the richness and keep your space feeling modern and lively.
• Kitchens: For a kitchen that’s anything but basic, swap out white or plain wood cabinets or islands for Warm Mahogany to bring depth and character. Pair with matte black or brass hardware for a sleek, modern look. For a taste of Warm Mahogany, try it on a single wall or behind open shelving. Warm Mahogany pairs beautifully with white or cream countertops, natural wood floors, and even pops of green from plants or kitchen accessories.
• Dining Rooms: This color brings serious warmth and richness to your dining space. With inviting vibes that make every meal feel like a special occasion, it is deep enough to add drama, but still chill enough to keep things relaxed. Plus, it pairs perfectly with natural wood, sleek metals and bold art. Your friends will want to hang out here (and maybe never leave).
• Library or Reading Nook: This color creates a snug, intimate atmosphere perfect for quiet moments when it’s easy to get lost in your favorite book.

For exteriors, Warm Mahogany is the warm glow-up your home deserves. It says “come on in” without being too loud. It’s cozy and approachable, making a home feel like the ultimate hangout spot.

DIYers can find Warm Mahogany in any Glidden brand paint or sheen. Available at THE HOME DEPOT® and WALMART® locations across the U.S., independent retailer locations nationwide, and the Glidden.com and AMAZON® websites, the Glidden brand provides authentic and simplified solutions for everyday paint projects around the home.
