Etsy Insights: Meet Etsy’s 2026 Color of the Year and First-Ever Texture of the Year!
Hi everyone!
Dayna Isom Johnson here—Etsy’s resident trend expert! ICYMI, new year prep just got a little bit easier and a lot more exciting! We've officially announced the much-anticipated color of the year.
💙 Color of the Year: Patina Blue 💙
Inspired by the way copper naturally ages, Patina Blue reflects the quiet magic of transformation and how materials evolve as they’re lived in and loved. Searches for “blue copper” have surged more than 3x*.
Featured Etsy shops (clockwise, from top left): LegloHome, ShopNewUse, GETTHEWAVE, LegloHome, JaujaLinen, DesignsByViviH
And for the first time ever, we have:
✨ Texture of the Year: Washed Linen ✨
Linen takes on a softer, more easygoing character this season—think a lived-in drape, a gentle break-in over time, and subtle tonal variations that add depth and dimension. Searches for linen clothing have skyrocketed over 1,200%*.
Featured Etsy shops (clockwise, from top left): LUMIOstudio, JaujaLinen, LoveAndConfuse, SandSnowLinen, Linenfox
Want to dig a little deeper? Watch what I shared on our Instagram about Patina Blue and Washed Linen!
We’re so excited to hear about all your plans to incorporate these two in your upcoming collections for 2026—let us know your wildest ideas in the comments below!

·8 months agoAbsolutely love this direction for 2026! 💙Accountants in Ilford also like Patina Blue feels both calming and timeless, and pairing it with washed linen makes so much sense—the texture really brings out that lived-in, evolving story you described. I can already imagine it working beautifully in home décor, soft furnishings, and even slow-fashion pieces. Excited to see how sellers interpret this combo in creative and unexpected ways!

Patina Blue and Washed Linen feel like such a perfect pairing — both capture that sense of softness, warmth, and materials that grow more beautiful as they’re lived in. The idea of gentle texture and subtle variation is especially inspiring.
As a small shop owner, trend insights like these are incredibly helpful when planning new designs for the year ahead.
Thank you for always supporting and guiding the seller community!
