430 Warm Pink and 431 Blue Violet: the new colours for 2026

The LEGO Group (TLG) are introducing two new colours for 2026. It's always exciting to see a new colour in the LEGO palette, although it does make us wonder if the 'one in and one out' rule introduced in the mid-2000s has been relaxed somehow in recent years?

TLG are calling the two new colours 430 Warm Pink and 431 Blue Violet, so let's take a closer look at these new tones and see where to find them in the new January 2026 releases.

430 Warm Pink

430 Warm Pink is an interesting new colour that has some similarity to two long retired colours: 100 Light Red [TLG name]/ Light Salmon [BrickLink name] and 101 Medium Red [TLG]/ Salmon [BL]. It's definitely within the salmon area in tone. 

It is interesting to look at 430 Warm Pink and its position on the LEGO colour wheel; it seems to be filling the gap between the red and pink colours. Let's examine some of the classic colour wheel relationships.

A complementary colour is when two colours are on opposite sides of the colour wheel, and in this case 322 Medium Azure is close enough to fit the bill.

Tetradic colours are four colours that are evenly spaced on the colour wheel; the closest approximations available from the current LEGO palette are shown above.

We have the full wave of LEGO® Friends sets due for release on Thursday 1 January 2026, enabling us to list all the new 430 Warm Pink elements in these sets.

Now for some other sets that we have spotted warm pink in.

We noticed 1x2 and 1x6 tiles in warm pink within the colour gradient background of LEGO® Art 31218 Japanese Cherry Blossom Landscape,  also coming on 1 January.

In addition, it seems 21365 Love Birds from LEGO® Ideas has quite a few elements in warm pink; we can spot the curved 2x2 slope with curved front (7037), a 1x2 tile, and a plate in the tail that is perhaps 1x4 or 1x6.  

It's nice to see warm pink used in combination with vibrant coral as they are analogous colours (i.e. next to each other on the colour wheel) that help to balance each other, if one is used as a dominant colour and the other an accent.

What other sets have you spotted this colour in?

431 Blue Violet

The new colour 431 Blue Violet is very similar to 219 Lilac [TLG/BL], a colour only used between 2004 and 2006. 112 Medium Bluish Violet [TLG]/ Medium Violet [BL] was introduced in 1999 with LEGO® DUPLO® Little Forest Friends, and last used around 2004/5 when it was replaced by 219 Lilac. Like warm pink, it seems blue violet has been introduced to fill the gap between the blues and the purples.

When placing the new 431 Blue Violet half circle tiles onto a 219 Lilac 2x4 brick, it's clear that there is only a slight difference in the two colours; blue violet is slightly lighter.

In terms of complementary colours, 326 Spring Yellowish Green is a close match.

Which LEGO sets have 431 Blue Violet?

We first noticed 431 Blue Violet in the LEGO® Botanicals set 11508 Daisies; see Tom's review of set 11508.

• Plant, Sunflower 2 x 2 with 16 Petals in Blue Violet (6584690 | 6901), found 18x in 11508 Daisies

Now for the blue violet pieces we spotted when analysing the full wave of January LEGO Friends sets.

• Tile Round 1 x 2 Half Circle in Blue Violet (6599817 | 1748), found 29x in 42687 Liann's Family House

• Door 1 x 4 x 6 with Pet Door in Blue Violet (6585066 | 79730), found 1x in 42679 Heartlake City Bunny Hotel, 1x in 42687 Liann's Family House

• Cupboard 2 x 3 x 2 Door in Blue Violet (6585067 | 4533), found 1x in 42677 Dog Treats Bakery, 1x in 42679 Heartlake City Bunny Hotel, 1x in 42687 Liann's Family House

There are also a couple of mini-doll parts featuring the new colour :

• Minidoll Hips and Short Skirt with print in Blue Violet (6593148 | 2241), found 1x in 42699 Beach House with Seals, as worn by Paisley.

Tan Hair with Helmet in Blue Violet  (6586723 | 02137), found 1x in 42687 Liann's Family House, worn by Nova.

Another theme that appears to use blue violet is LEGO® Harry Potter™. We've spotted the 2x2 round tile with hollow stud (18674), 1x1 stadium tile (24246) and Technic ball joint (32474) in 76464 Cauldron: Secret Potions Classroom; and it also looks like a new pentagonal tile coming in 76466 Sorcerer's Stone also uses blue violet, although the piece is printed in this set, sadly.

Where else have you spotted blue violet?

Conclusion 

Overall, we are definitely fans of these two new colours, given that both appear to have been introduced to fill gaps in the current LEGO colour palette. 

Warm pink has been given a particularly great mix of elements for its introduction, meaning we will be able to MOC with this colour much more readily. If it is basic pieces in bulk you are after, the sumptuous 42691 Garden Restaurant is definitely your best bet.

We will write more about these new colours and their elements in the new year with our two upcoming articles covering all the new moulds, recolours and new prints in the January 2026 LEGO Friends sets.
