There’s something incredibly refreshing about painting your home and giving it a new lease on life, and for 2026, Dulux’s colour forecast is all about spaces that feel intentional, expressive, and grounding. This year’s direction leans into emotional connection: designing interiors that reflect who we are, how we live, and what makes us feel at ease.
What I love most about Dulux is how they approach colour. It’s never just about what looks good on the wall, it’s about the mood it creates and the story it tells.
For 2026, Dulux introduces palettes that celebrate individuality, balance, and quiet joy, encouraging us to rethink neutrals and embrace colour in a more personal way.
Here are Dulux’s 2026 colour palettes and what makes each one special:
The Evoke Palette celebrates individuality and the return of maximalism. Inspired by vintage design, it blends old and new elements to create spaces full of character.
Rich tones, earthy pinks, warm mustards, and bold accents of blue, red, and grape add depth and personality, making each room feel expressive and curated.
The Elemental Palette is a warm, neutral palette built around soft whites, golden browns, and gentle greys. These tones create a sense of calm and structure, while deeper charcoals add subtle depth.
It is perfect for those who prefer a balanced, understated, and grounding interior.
Last but not least is The Ethereal Palette. Ethereal features gentle greens, mauves, and blush pinks that bring a sense of serenity and joy to a space.
Romantic mid-tones paired with delicate pastels create a light, playful, and quietly luxurious atmosphere without feeling overwhelming.
For 2026, Dulux encourages creating homes that feel personal and emotionally connected. These palettes offer warmth, inspiration, and flexibility, making it easier to design a space that truly reflects you. If you are ready to refresh your home, feel free to reach out and let’s bring these colours to life together.
