Muted palettes designed to embrace and comfort
Dulux Colour Forecast 2025
Soft browns and the emergence of moody-grey undertones provide depth in each palette, affording spaces a feeling of grounded cosiness as midtone colours will continue to dominate New Zealand interior design.
When applied in commercial spaces such as retail and office areas, the Dulux colour team says there is no boundary on how each colour in the palettes can be used.
With so many neutral colours including beiges, tans, browns and warm whites forming a base for accents of greens, blues or rich burgundies, the palettes are suited to any architectural style of home.
Contrasting colour schemes will re-emerge for a more energetic and sophisticated palette. Where neutral colour schemes are concerned, warmth and tactility will be a key influence in any finished design.
