DCO’s 2026 Colour of the Year: Chai Cream Latte

Description

Cream Chai Latte: A warm, soothing neutral with a creamy depth. Its comforting, familiar, and beautifully timeless.

Cream Chai Latte is a gently warming beige that wraps a room in softness and perfectly reflects the hugely popular buttery-yellow fashion and home interiors trends of 2026. It has a mellow, creamy undertone that feels instantly inviting, like settling into a calm moment with a favourite cup in hand. 

This is a shade that flatters any space: subtle enough to behave like a neutral, but characterful enough to add warmth and presence. Perfect if you want a welcoming, lived-in look that still feels refined.

Best Light Source: This shade excels in east- and south-facing rooms, where its natural warmth is enhanced. In cooler, north-facing light it maintains a soft, cosy glow.

Room Type: Cream Chai Latte is brilliant for living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms where warmth and comfort are the priority.

• Leyland Trade Hardwearing Acrylic Eggshell – Suitable for walls, metal and interior wooden surfaces.
• Leyland Trade Hardwearing Matt – Suitable for interior walls and
