They say the best finds are the ones you never saw coming. Whether you’re shifting the mood or seeking a refined reset, now is the time to discover exceptional beauty and revel in the quiet confidence of your home style.
Introducing the BEHR® 2026 Colour of the Year: Hidden Gem (N430-6A), a smoky jade that whispers elegance and speaks volumes in sophistication. This artful blend of blue and green brings a sense of grounded serenity and vibrant depth to any space it touches.
From bold living spaces to cozy corners, Hidden Gem redefines the familiar with a hue that’s both gentle and captivating. It’s more than just a colour—it’s a mindset. A subtle statement. A stunning transformation. This is where subtle meets stunning. This is Hidden Gem.

In a colour-drenched living room, Hidden Gem becomes more than a backdrop; it becomes the atmosphere. Paired with soft textures like velvet or boucle and accented with rich leather and natural wood, the effect is immersive and luxurious without being overwhelming. This monochromatic approach invites a sense of calm and cohesion.

In this elevated take on the classic tuxedo kitchen, Hidden Gem steps into the spotlight as the unforgettable accent that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

The contrast between the deep, cool elegance of Hidden Gem and the warmth of metallic accents and wood tones such as walnut creates a space that feels grounded, modern, and effortlessly sophisticated.

When used on bedroom walls or even as an accent on a feature wall or headboard, Hidden Gem acts as both anchor and a sophisticated backdrop that beautifully complements a variety of bedding colours and textures.

In a minimalist or modern spa-like bathroom, Hidden Gem brings a sense of tranquility and understated luxury that perfectly aligns with the clean lines and calming atmosphere of the space.

In a home office, a built-in desk and cabinet set painted in Hidden Gem creates a space that feels both focused and inspiring.

From serene bedrooms and spa-like bathrooms to bold kitchens and home offices, Hidden Gem proves a subtle and stunning backdrop. This deep blue green brings depth, elegance, and quiet confidence to every corner of your home.
