Dulux Presents 2025 Summer Colour Trends

After a challenging winter, it’s time to embrace sunnier weather and bring a sense of joy and warmth into our spaces. This summer, Dulux colour forecasters predict that a combination of almost-pastel shades alongside bold, rich colours will emerge in our interiors in response to our desire for a renewed sense of hope and to foster creativity.

Vibrant and uplifting hues like those featured within the Dulux Emerge palette, have the power to transform a space into a sunny sanctuary. Colours such as the muted midtone yellow of Dulux Kereta are combined with the brown-based pink of Dulux Piglet to both uplift and soothe.
