2025 Dulux Colour Trend Forecast
The 2025 report unveils three distinctively curated palettes—Emerge, Still, and Recollect, highlighting optimism, nostalgia, and nature-inspired calm, craftsmanship, and slower living through expressive tones, heritage references, and soothing neutrals. The colours showcase our need to slow down, find beauty in the mundane and a longing for authenticity.
Emerge
An uplifting palette of soft and mid-tone hues, Emerge has a feel-good energy evoking a sense of cautious optimism. This palette embodies an expressive style that celebrates connection and ignites joy.
