Get ready to crank up the sunshine because the Dulux Colour of the Year 2025 has landed: say hello to True Joy! This lively sunshine yellow isn’t just a colour—it’s designed to supercharge your space with a burst of energy and bring an extra dose of cheerfulness to your home.
According to Dulux’s senior colour designer, Dawn Scott, True Joy was chosen for its uplifting qualities that encourage us to step out of our comfort zones and embrace the fun side of life. Imagine walking into a hallway that instantly lifts your spirits or a kitchen that greets you with a fresh, invigorating wake-up call every morning. This hue is perfect for adding a touch of warmth to cosy family spaces or creating standout accents in any room.
True Joy isn’t just a one-note wonder; it plays well with a range of colours from oranges and blues to greys, letting you mix and match to craft your perfect look. Whether you go bold with a full wall or dip your toes into playful patterns and accents, True Joy promises to bring a burst of sunshine to your home all year round.
To help designers and homeowners find the best colour combinations, Dulux has also created three supporting ColourFutures palettes:
- ‘Bold Colour Story’: Inspired by the thrill of adventure, this palette features bright blues and oranges with accent yellows, adding spontaneity and energy to any space.
- ‘Human Colour Story’: Celebrating artisanal craftsmanship, this palette includes warming shades of wood and clay that reflect the raw materials used in handmade processes.
- ‘Proud Colour Story’: Drawing from diverse cultures around the world, this palette showcases deep, rich browns and greens for a grounded, earthy feel.
