Lemon Blast
Yellows are vibrant and reflective and can create a happy and bright environment. Yellow is warm and is perfectly suited for south-facing spaces. Yellows can be used in casual living areas, hallways and entry spaces to create a light-filled bright setting.
Crowd pleaser
Stepping away from clean and brighter shades, the muted Emerge palette features uplifting, almost-pastel shades with its greyed-off purple blues to be a new colour direction in 2025.
While each colour in the palette is conducive to walls, soft furnishings and fabrics or appearing as accents in decorative objects and artwork, the warm orange-based pink and biscuit shades, including Terracotta Chip and Clay Bake or the greyed-off Vintage Lilac are stunning backdrops to accents such as Lemon Blast and purple-based blue Justice.
