Pinterest’s 2026 palette, with hex codes

The 5 colours

  • Cool Blue

    A pale, icy blue. Pinterest also calls it a trend of its own this year.

  • Jade

    Somewhere between mint and moss, in Pinterest’s words.

  • Plum Noir

    A deep purple with burgundy and brown in it. The only dark one.

  • Wasabi

    An electric chartreuse. Best in small doses.

  • Persimmon

    A warm, bright orange red.

How to use it

  • Plum Noir is the only dark colour, so it carries the text. It reads well on all four of the others, as the pairs below show.
  • Let Cool Blue or Jade fill the page and keep Wasabi and Persimmon for small things: a button, a tag, a highlight. Two loud colours at full size fight each other.
  • Pinterest pairs them in two sub palettes, Cool Blue with Wasabi and Persimmon with Plum Noir. Each has a page here with three more shades to go with it: Cool Blue and Wasabi, Persimmon and Plum Noir.

Making a music or podcast clip? Wayvl takes a wave colour and a background colour, so two of these codes are all it needs.
