ShareDulux Colour of the Year 2025, True Joy, is an uplifting yellow.
A bright and positive colour that fills spaces with optimism, pride and imagination to help people move forward.
It’s created to inspire people to leap out of their comfort zone, to just go for it and feel confident in doing so.
It can be used on its own as a bold statement colour or
as an accent colour in combination to transform interiors and exteriors across
a wide range of sectors.
Dulux Trade Colour of the Year and its palettes offer you the flexibility to update spaces in countless different ways.
With these easy-to-use, on-trend colour combinations, you can respond to
your customers’ needs with bespoke schemes that will be energising, exciting
and inspirational.
Educational Spaces:
Schools, colleges, and universities are unique places that must support learning and stimulate the senses. These spaces will inspire those who experience them.
Bold and uplifting colours bring positivity and energy to a learning environment.
Students will be stimulated to learn when they enter these spaces.
With the outside world ever-changing, feeling safe and valued is vital to a child’s development.
By creating a positive and joyful space they are free to learn new things confidently and leap out of their comfort zone.
Use bold colours to give a school its distinctive personality and identity, especially at the entrance and throughout corridors.
Office Spaces:
Office spaces need to be designed to not only inspire but allow us the space to think.
The more comfortable in an office or home, the more motivated we become.
These bright and uplifting colours are inspired by the excitement of adventure.
They bring spontaneity and energy to a space sparking creativity and innovation.
Business managers now recognise that workplace conditions influence those who work there.
Several studies show that office environments affect wellbeing, motivation, job satisfaction and productivity.
Create a space that motivates employees and brings a new energy to the workspace.
Healthcare Spaces:
In buildings where the focus is on health and wellbeing, patients, visitors and staff need a psychological escape from stress and anxiety.
They need soothing, restorative spaces that can help them recuperate.
In more practical ways, colour can be an invaluable tool, aiding wayfinding and navigation.
Warm neutrals, inspired by raw materials act as a backdrop for our positive Colour of the Year.
This colour can augment a patient’s quality of life, reduce feelings of stress and anxiety and aid recovery.
Healthcare spaces are often branded as sterile, but patients need positivity, creativity and culture, to aid healing and make their days pleasant.
These spaces should be friendly and visually attractive, where the wellbeing of patients is enhanced, staff feel more motivated and visitors are greeted warmly.
Positive spaces that bring a sense of optimism that help patients, visitors and staff feel more at ease.
Hospitality Spaces:
Hotel, restaurant or library, hospitality spaces need to feel appealing and welcoming.
This attracts visitors and creates a home away from home.
Comprising deep, rich tones inspired by local cultures and communities across the globe, this palette creates a comfortable and homely feel no matter where you are from or have travelled from.
Using traditional patterns, tribal motifs or iconic local symbols can infuse the space with cultural depth.
Soft lighting paired with rich and saturated colours is ideal.
Since this is a place where visitors can relax and eat, the colours support an air of warmth and informality.
Spaces that make you feel rooted no matter where you are from.
One that proudly reflects the local culture around us so we can embrace new inspiration.
