Soulful Sage is Interpon's Color of the Year.
September 14, 2026
By: Rachel Klemovitch
AkzoNobel has named Soulful Sage as Interpon’s 2027 Color of the Year, reflecting the growing influence of softer, nature-inspired color palettes and natural materials in contemporary architecture.
More than a single color, Soulful Sage is the center piece of a carefully curated palette of nine complementary creams, greys and blues. Together, they open new possibilities for bringing color, material and form together – whether creating quiet harmony or bold architectural contrast.
Designed to work effortlessly across powder-coated applications, the palette enables architects and designers to create distinctive visual identities while complementing materials such as aluminum, steel, timber, stone and concrete.
Available in the Interpon D2525 range of super durable powder coatings, Soulful Sage is a refined soft green with subtle grey undertones that brings warmth and understated character to facades, windows, doors, furniture and a wide range of powder-coated products.
Balancing contemporary expression with enduring appeal, it offers architects, designers and specifiers a versatile color that complements today’s architectural language while remaining relevant for years to come.
All colors in the 2027 palette are available with warranties of up to 25 years when applied by an Interpon D Approved Applicator. The Interpon D range is supported by an independently verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and meets Qualicoat Class 2 and GSB Master certifications, as well as the performance requirements of AAMA 2604, giving specifiers confidence in both sustainability credentials and long-term performance.
Jorrit van Rijn, Global Marketing Manager, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings, said: “When architects specify color, they’re making a decision that can define the character of a building for decades. Soulful Sage captures a color direction that feels contemporary today and relevant for decades to come, while the proven durability, color retention, and sustainability credentials of Interpon D2525 give specifiers confidence that their original design intent will endure.”
