Muted palettes to embrace and comfort

Dulux Colour Forecast 2025

The 2025 Dulux Colour Forecast palettes lean towards subdued hues and neutral shades to provide colours that represent comfort and security.

​Soft browns and the emergence of moody-grey undertones provide depth in each palette, affording spaces a feeling of grounded cosiness as midtone colours will continue to dominate Australian interior design.

When applied in commercial spaces such as retail and office areas, the Dulux colour team says there is no boundary on how each colour in the palettes can be used.

With so many neutral colours including beiges, tans, browns and warm whites forming a base for accents of greens, blues or rich burgundies, the palettes are suited to any architectural style of home.​

Contrasting colour schemes will re-emerge for a more energetic and sophisticated palette. Where neutral colour schemes are concerned, warmth and tactility will be a key influence in any finished design. ​

Emerge

The Emerge palette is a balanced curation of warm muted hues including biscuit yellow, warm orange-based pinks, greyed-off lilacs, a hint of brown and light grey blue.​
