Ace Hardware, the world's largest hardware cooperative, has revealed its 2026 Color of the Year. Hazelnut Crunch (09A-5) is the chosen shade for Clark+Kensington paints, inspired by current design trends towards biophilic design and nature-rooted tones.

The new color is part of Ace Hardware's 2026 interior paint trends, anchored in two palettes: Grounded and Tranquil. Grounded offers warm, neutral shades like Morning Coffee (N-W24) and Candied Ginger (N-W28), while Tranquil features softly shaded mineral hues such as Frost (CW-C3) and Mysterious Gray (N-C19).

Hazelnut Crunch is available exclusively at participating Ace Hardware stores and online at acehardware.com/thepaintstudio. The company's expansive network of U.S. distribution centers, along with international capabilities in China and Mexico, ensures wide accessibility. All Clark+Kensington paints are premium, offering exceptional coverage and durability as paint and primer in one.
