Evermore’s 2026 Color Palette: A living palette of change, calm, and connection.
It’s the time we find ourselves standing at the edge of endings and beginnings – the perfect time to reimagine our palette. This year, we did something different. Something more vulnerable. Keeping in line with our priority for remaining evermore human, we took an even more personal approach this year: each member of our team chose colors to contribute to our 2026 palette.
These are the colors that speak to our souls. In sharing them, we invite you to truly see us: a blend of experiences, personalities, struggles, and passions that add up to something even greater than ourselves. What emerged was a journey of the human experience itself: the spark of transformation, the ache of healing, the quiet power of finding your ground.
We begin with the first step that defines a new season: a fiery and unyielding rush of change.
Steve’s Chartreuse and Orange: The Flash of Transformation.
“These are the colors nature reveals only briefly, yet they’ve captivated us for lifetimes.”
Picture the moment autumn explodes. That first sign of chartreuse and orange burning through the canopy, when the world transforms overnight from a sea of green into a breathtaking fall palette. Blink and you’ll miss it – but it triggers a change deep within you each time.
Steve chose these colors because they’re the ones that make you stop walking. The ones that remind you that change isn’t a bad thing. It’s the most breathtaking part of living.
“They appear as Mother Nature begins her annual transformation,” he says, “shifting the landscape into a palette that makes the world seem to glow. Perhaps that’s what draws me to these shades – the way they remind us that change, though fleeting, can be the most beautiful part of life.”
Every transformation begins here. With energy. With the courage to let go of what you were.
After the intense energy of renewal, things inevitably slow down. The next step bridges the gap between movement and meaning.
Jodie’s Teal: A color to drive connection and creative balance.
“When I was little, I loved yellow.”
Jodie’s childhood was bathed in sunlight, filled with memories of hot summer afternoons, ice cream cones, and the Eagles or REO Speedwagon blasting on the stereo. Over time, the golden warmth that a yellow hue brings has transformed into something steadier, quieter.
“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve connected more with the calm of blue and the peace of being near water – probably why I always want to see the ocean when I travel.”
Still, the lightness and joy of those yellow days never really fades, it just shifts. The older, wiser blue blends with that childhood love to create something new, reminding us that we carry every version of ourselves forward with us.
“The deep teal I chose feels like where those two colors meet,” she says, “somewhere between the optimism and nostalgia of yellow and the calm and peace of blue, which is the perfect place to be.”
As motion seems to fully settle, we reach a space of serenity and clarity.
Maia’s Cobalt: calm that breaks through chaos.
“The color I chose was pulled from a photo of me stretched out in a hammock beneath a wide summer sky, my dog curled on my lap and my Kindle in hand, the world momentarily quiet.”
True, authentic peace doesn’t demand our attention – it just settles in when we least expect it, soft and complete. These are the moments when nothing weighs heavy on our minds, nothing needs to be fixed or finished.
Maia chose this color as an anchor to return to when the world spins too fast, because clarity is something consistent that you can carry with you, not just a short moment that you stumble upon.
“It’s a snapshot of peace, the kind that hums softly beneath the noise and reminds you to breathe and simply be,” she says. “A gentle reminder that comfort isn’t found in the absence of chaos, but in the moments we choose to rise above it.”
When we’re ready to leave our place of calm, real, raw reflection begins.
Kayla’s Smoky Violet: healing through light and shadow.
There’s honesty in this violet hue, the kind that doesn’t try to mask the hard edges. Soothing, but a little stormy, proudly shaped by what we endure.
“It reminds me of struggles that we overcome in our lives: purple bruises that heal with time, angry skies during thunderstorms that eventually pass,” she says. “The gray-ish undertone is a reminder that life always has a bit of an edge, but there’s peace to be found at the end of the tunnel.”
Kayla chose this color to represent growth, the kind that’s about persistence over perfection. There’s strength in the way we continue to show up, pushing ourselves to adapt in every season of life even when the horizon hasn’t fully cleared.
“It’s impossible to keep moving forward without taking a half step back into the things that challenge us, represented here by that hint of darkness. To me, this color feels like realistic healing: hard-earned, imperfect, and always reflective.”
Finally, after transformation, connection, calm, and reflection, we arrive at stability and partnership.
Jessica’s Mauve Gray: the thread that ties us together.
“When our team picked colors to represent ourselves, I actually waited until last to choose mine.”
This choice was pure thoughtfulness, not hesitation. Harmony has always been Jessica’s style; creating connection, finding balance, noticing what’s missing, and filling it with intention. And so, she found this middle ground, a shade full of understated personality.
“I chose this color because it feels calm, kind, and balanced, much like how I try to approach life and work. I’ve always loved black and white for their simplicity and contrast, and purple for its warmth and creativity,” she says. “This shade sits beautifully in between; it leans gray, which feels grounded and versatile, yet carries a hint of purple that adds personality.”
This shade feels like the pause between stories, where every piece of this palette is woven together into something whole. The understated heart of this shade brings something new to every other color – grounding vivid energy in some, bringing out soft unseen tones in others – reminding us that unity completes our stories.
These colors, like us, are strongest when they coexist.
We chose these hues to expand on our meaning of what it means to be human: changing, creating, healing, connecting. We believe that as we move through every season of life, we should be reminded that we can always start again, transitioning through each stage in a continuing loop. By weaving each shade into the next, we bring it full circle: together, we’re a vibrant, human, work in progress.
