From Nippon's Blue Planet to warm earthy tones — the colours Singapore interior designers are specifying most in 2026.
Singapore's Colour Mood in 2026
After years of grey-on-grey minimalism, Singapore homeowners are embracing warmer, more personal colour choices. Interior designers report more clients requesting earthy tones, deep blues and biophilic greens — colours that bring calm and personality to a home.
1. Blue Planet — NP PB 1506 D (Nippon Paint Colour of the Year)
Nippon Paint's Colour of the Year 2026 is a confident mid-blue that evokes clear skies and deep oceans. Use it as a feature wall in the living room or bedroom for a statement that is calming yet bold.
2. Revere Pewter — HC-172 (Benjamin Moore)
Still one of the most popular neutrals in the world. A warm greige (grey-beige) that looks different in every light. Works with almost any furniture colour — particularly good in Singapore HDB living rooms.
3. Esparina — NP BGG 1750 A (Nippon Paint)
A deep, sophisticated olive green that channels the Japandi trend. Pairs beautifully with timber furniture and rattan accessories. Featured prominently in Singapore interior design projects in 2025–2026.
4. Chantilly Lace — OC-65 (Benjamin Moore)
The purest, crispest white in the Benjamin Moore range. Popular for BTO flats where owners want a clean, fresh base to build their interior around.
5. Crete Barrel — NP N 1821 D (Nippon Paint)
A warm taupe-brown that sits beautifully between grey and beige. Perfect for creating a cosy, grounded atmosphere in living rooms and bedrooms.
6. Wrought Iron — 2008-10 (Benjamin Moore)
Dark, dramatic charcoal with a hint of green. The most popular dark wall colour in Singapore right now — used for feature walls, TV walls and study rooms.
7. Sage Green — NP BGG 1748 P (Nippon Paint)
Soft, muted sage green is everywhere in 2026. Easy to live with and universally loved — pairs well with white, timber and brass accents.
8. Porcelain Blue — NP PB 1526 A (Nippon Paint)
A deeper, more saturated blue than Blue Planet. Stunning in dining rooms and studies. Use with warm lighting for maximum effect.
9. White Dove — OC-17 (Benjamin Moore)
The world's best-selling white paint. A warm, creamy white that never feels cold or sterile. Works in every room and makes spaces feel open without being clinical.
10. Bonito Flakes — NP N 3208 P (Nippon Paint)
A warm off-white with peachy undertones. Inspired by the Japandi trend — this colour creates a serene, cosy atmosphere perfect for Singapore bedrooms.
