2026 colour trends seem to encompass rich burgundies in particular - with the notable exceptions of Dulux and Pantone. Whilst I’m not a huge fan of Pantone’s choice, I love the ideas of warm and earthy and with blues of all kinds my favourite colour, Dulux’s palette of indigo blues is right up my street.
My new art this year will be lightly touching on colour trends for 2026 and beyond. Think palettes that draw on a mix of comfort and magic - from nature’s deep berries to vast, atmospheric skies. You’ll find these colours in new seasonal pieces throughout the year.
I also have a series of new London pieces planned - from limited-edition prints to cards and homeware. Their colour palettes will come from the city itself, contrasting night and day.
Join my mailing list here to be the first to see (and buy) the new pieces as soon as they’re launched. South Island Art also turns 10 this year - I can’t quite believe it - and I’m planning a whole heap of surprises for my mailing list VIPs from the end of February. So if you fancy some treats, make sure you’re on the list!
