As 2025 unfolds, the world of colour is embracing bold accents and layers of warmth that bring energy to a room while still offering comfort and connection. From the fashion runway to the interior design world, the focus is shifting towards sun-baked browns, earthy aubergine purples, and elemental blues, blending rustic and elemental palettes with refined sophistication.
Sherwin Williams’ 2025 trend palette, Chrysalis, captures the essence of peaceful, intentional living with colours inspired by wood tones, sand, and freshly turned earth—inviting us into a sanctuary of transformation. Similarly, Dulux’s three key palettes, Still, Recollect, and Emerge, highlight warm, brown undertones that nurture positivity and comfort, with rich burgundies and greens also taking center stage.
Elle Decor also notes the growing shift toward more introspective and nuanced colours, with designer Ghislaine Viñas predicting "muddier pinks, purples, greens, and yellows" to dominate the palette, evoking a calm, grounded feel. This trend aligns with Pantone's Colour of the Year 2025, Mocha Mousse, a rich, grounding hue that evokes a sense of warmth and comfort.
2025 is set to usher in a deeper, more enduring and grounded colour story that reflects the depth of the natural world and our need for spaces that promote connection, peace, and reflection.
