Now, more than ever before, our living rooms need to fill us with optimism, pride, imagination, and a creative energy. The Dulux Colour of the Year 2025, True Joy™ is the perfect living room paint. Why? Not only does it work beautifully on its own, adding optimism and warmth to any living room, but it also brightens up any space when used as a spontaneous accent colour.
Around it, we’ve created three colour stories – Bold Colour Story, Human Colour Story and Proud Colour Story – allowing you to experiment and play with what feels right for you. And in addition, our CF25 Yellows palette, in which we showcase all the yellow shades from the three palettes to celebrate our Yellow story! Find out how you can energise your living space by simply choosing one of our palettes…
Make a joyful leap into the unknown
Feeling brave? Create an adventurous space with our Bold Colour Story. Bright and zestful colours framed by True Joy™ create a living room that feels active and exciting. And if that wasn't enough, pops of coloured furnishings can add even more energy to your room, wherever your eyes wander.
Celebrate the hand-made
Want to keep it simple? Create an artisan-inspired space that makes you feel grounded and in touch. The earthy tones of our Human Colour Story create the perfect backdrop for True Joy™ to bring a natural glow of sunshine to an open-plan living area. While hand-crafted furnishings made from natural materials connect us to the beauty of imperfections.
Embrace your local culture
Want to make it personal? Create an eclectic space layered with individual influences that make us feel us proud of our roots and all that we are. Reflecting the unique cultures around us, these colours from our Proud Colour Story create a living room that feels warm and cosy. Somewhere anyone can feel at home.
Our Colour of the Year

No matter how you use our Colour of the Year 2025, just remember… If you can dream it, you can create it. You just have to believe it. Close your eyes and… #justleap
