with host artist Miriam Schulman
Every fall, the world’s biggest paint brands reveal their Color of the Year but these aren’t just decorating trends. They’re emotional roadmaps for what buyers crave and collect. In this episode, Miriam breaks down 2026’s trending colors from biophilic greens and warm khakis to heritage reds and timeless blues. And shows you how to use color psychology to sell, brand, and connect like a creative pro.
“Color trends influence everything from home decor, fashion, branding, and the emotional cues that collectors respond to.” – Miriam Schulman
In this podcast, you will…
- The hidden emotional language behind each major color family
- How to translate paint trends into brand strategy for artists
- Ways to borrow color cues from design pros to deepen connection with collectors
“This isn’t about changing your palette. It’s about understanding what people are craving emotionally right now.” – Miriam Schulman

Incubator Success Story of the Week!
I read some of the positive comments on the social media post for the free Bootcamp. Since it was free, I figured why not :). The training enlightened me on a lot of things that I have been doing wrong. Then the success stories and the bonuses offered with the AIC is what finally sold me. Knowing/hoping that all I need to do is sell one good size painting and the whole AIC is all paid for. -Christi Stinger
