The Colour of the Year for 2026: Transformative Teal

Hi muses! We’ve got some exciting news to share. While our iconic dark brown and cream pieces will always have a special place in our hearts (and your wardrobes), we’re about to push the boundaries a bit this summer. And guess what’s inspiring us? The Colour of the Year for 2026: Transformative Teal.

That’s right…we’re dreaming up a new collection, and this stunning blue-green hue is at the centre of it. Think fresh, calming, and totally forward-thinking vibes. But don’t worry, this isn’t about following trends blindly. It’s about finding inspiration in colours that resonate with where the world is headed, and where you want to go.

 

What’s So Special About Transformative Teal?

Transformative Teal is more than just a pretty colour. It’s a mix of dark blue and aquatic green that feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s calming, restorative, and all about change, perfect for a world that’s constantly evolving.

WGSN (the global authority on trend forecasting) predicts that 2026 will be a year of redirection. People are demanding more sustainability, more innovation, and more balance in how we live and consume. Transformative Teal embodies that shift. It’s a colour that says, “Hey, let’s do better—for ourselves and the planet.”

 

What This Means for Muse

Here at Muse, we’re all about creating pieces that feel good, look good, and do good. Our dark brown and cream staples have been a hit because they’re timeless, versatile, and oh-so-cosy. But this summer, we’re ready to mix things up.

Transformative Teal is just the beginning. We’re exploring colours that inspire change, calm, and a little bit of joy. Think fresh hues that pair perfectly with your existing Muse favourites, plus some exciting new silhouettes and details.

But Wait - What If Teal Isn’t Your Thing?

Here’s the thing: colours are inspiration, not rules. Just because Transformative Teal is the Colour of the Year doesn’t mean you have to wear it if it doesn’t speak to you. At Muse, we believe your style should reflect you—your personality, your mood, your vibe.

That’s why we’re also working on something super fun: a colour undertone quiz to help you discover which shades suit you best. Are you warm-toned, cool-toned, or somewhere in between? Stay tuned for an upcoming blog where we’ll break it all down. Spoiler: it’s going to be a game-changer for your wardrobe.

What’s Next?

While the Transformative Teal hoodie isn’t a reality yet, it’s definitely in the works. We’re dreaming up designs that are cosy, stylish, and perfect for your loungewear rotation. And who knows? Maybe this collection will include a few surprises - like Electric Fuchsia or Jelly Mint accents. (Hey, a little colour never hurt anyone.)

In the meantime, keep rocking your dark brown and cream Muse pieces. They’re timeless for a reason. But get ready, because this summer, we’re bringing something fresh to the table.
