The 2025 Dulux Colour Forecast has revealed the trending colours we’re set to see more of next year.
Led by the Dulux Colour Team — Colour and Communications Manager Andrea Lucena-Orr, Colour Manager Lauren Treloar and Colour Forecaster Stylist Bree Leech — the annual forecast takes into consideration year-round trends and current events to determine three unique palettes Australians are gravitating towards.
The latest forecast suggests we’ll be embracing ‘uplifting and soothing colours’, using warm, brown undertones to create calming interior spaces. But greens and rich burgundy hues are also quickly rising in popularity.
‘One of the most significant shifts this year is the increase in warm neutrals across the three palettes. During uncertain times we often see a move towards muted colours and calming pastels that help make us feel grounded and provide a sense of relief from everyday stresses,’ Andrea says.
Take a closer look at each of the palettes below!
Recollect
Moody but traditional, Dulux Recollect features yellow-based greens and deep olive shades like Dulux Zingiber alongside rich wine accents ranging from Dulux Grapeshot to Dulux Plum Sauce, which Andrea tips will be one of 2025’s most popular colours, thanks to it’s sophistication and cosy aura.
Andrea notes this palette is all about filling your home with personality by drawing on heritage styles and vintage design pieces.
We especially love how Dulux Olive Blend looks when styled with contrasting velvet furnishings, while the forecast also suggests enhancing this palette with clashing patterns, pops of red, and glossy finishes for a touch of ‘modern glamour’.
