Ace Hardware's 2026 Color of the Year: Hazelnut Crunch

Ace Hardware, a beloved local community store since 1924, has announced its 2026 Color of the Year. Hazelnut Crunch (09A-5) is now available exclusively at participating Ace Hardware stores near me and online at acehardware.com/thepaintstudio.

The new color anchors two palettes, Grounded and Tranquil, in the 2026 Clark+Kensington Color Trends collection. Inspired by consumer trends toward biophilic design, cozy minimalism, and nature-rooted tones, Hazelnut Crunch is a warm, inviting hue.

Grounded features warm, neutral shades like Morning Coffee, Candied Ginger, and Farmers Market. These earthy tones create a comforting atmosphere. Tranquil, on the other hand, includes softly shaded mineral hues such as Frost, Mysterious Gray, and Wood Smoke, offering a sense of calm and serenity.

Ace Hardware, the largest hardware cooperative globally serving over 8,700 locally owned stores, is known for its helpful hardware folks and premium Clark+Kensington paints. With Hazelnut Crunch as the 2026 Color of the Year, the company continues to provide high-quality products that reflect the latest design trends.
