Tarkett Unveils Johnsonite® 2026 Colors of the Year

Tarkett, a prominent name in sustainable flooring solutions, has officially revealed its stunning Johnsonite® Colors of the Year for 2026, drawing inspiration from the untamed beauty of wild earth. This palette isn't just a collection of colors; it embodies creativity and a fresh design perspective, showcasing how nature can spark innovation.

The alluring hues in the 2026 collection have been meticulously crafted by Tarkett’s design team, who took a distinctive approach to color development. They utilized natural ingredients, such as vegetables and flowers, boiling them to produce dyed fabrics that informed the final color selections. The result is a palette that celebrates the very essence of nature and its vibrant, diverse expressions.

The Colors of 2026

The bold shades in this year’s collection are:

• - Turmeric Gold: This vivid gold is derived from turmeric root shavings. Its warm hue radiates vitality and strength, a vivid reminder of nature’s nurturing powers.
• - Smoked Paprika: Exuding confidence, Smoked Paprika is a rich brown-orange rust that encapsulates the essence of sunset, proving to be a show-stealer in any palette it joins.
• - Showy Zinnia: A vibrant red inspired by blooming zinnias, this color represents lively growth and balance, encapsulating the vibrancy of nature.
• - Red Cabbage: Combining shades from simmered cabbage and blueberries, this regal purple hue echoes the beauty of twilight and nature's artistry.
• - Sweet Onion: This soft mauve, extracted from boiled red onion skins, offers an earthy yet elegant tone that is universally versatile.
• - Cool as a Cuke: A lively lime-themed hue evoking freshness like a cucumber, it adds a crisp note to bolder palettes.
• - Blue Kale: This deep indigo hue is the product of a playful chemistry experiment, reflecting nature’s profound depth and reliability.

The artistic arrangements are suitable for various Johnsonite products, including wall bases, rubber tiles, and stairwell solutions.

Janette Murray, a leading color expert at Johnsonite, emphasized the philosophy behind this year's selections: "Nature has never stayed inside the lines, and this year, neither do we. The 2026 palette celebrates color in its purest form, collaborating with nature to allow the cloth to become a canvas and express the beauty of the natural world.”
