Dulux Colour of the Year 2025 is a bright yellow called True Joy™. It is an uplifting and positive colour that can be used on its own as a bold statement colour or as an accent colour to fill your home with a sense of optimism.

To help use True Joy™ the experts at Dulux have created three colour palettes that bring the Colour of the Year 2025 to life. Each of the three palettes creates a different mood.

Bold

Bright colours mixed with the Colour of the Year, will create an energetic space with personality and dynamism.

Human

Colours inspired by the raw materials used in human craftsmanship such as wood and clay work perfectly with this bright yellow.

Proud 

Inspired by the natural dyes used by cultures around the world, these earthy shades work beautifully with True Joy™ to create a welcoming space.

Dulux worked with trend forecast researchers ColourFutures to choose the 2025 Colour of the Year. 

“It’s a bold and uplifting colour that reflects a shift from seeking simplicity and calm to embracing adventure and creativity.” According to Dulux’s senior colour designer Dawn Scott.

Dulux have created lots of room sets using True Joy™ to encourage us to embrace this bold new colour. From bathrooms to cafes and living rooms, they show how this statement colour can work in any space.
