Colour Trends For 2025
Each year a team of top international design experts come together to discuss world wide trends. This is then translated into a colour scheme, then they compile a colour of the year with supporting colour palettes. They have selected a range of colours they think will be the trend throughout 2025.
What Is The Trend Colour For 2025
The colour of the year 2025 is…… 40YY 49/546 (also known as True Joy™).
“Inspired by local cultures around the world, our proud colours are created to celebrate the rich heritages that make us unique from one another. From the deep reds in Chinese culture to the dark greens of Africa, each colour allows us to feel rooted in our identities. A place where anyone can feel at home. ”
“THIS YEAR
This year, there’s a growing sense across the world that life must be better elsewhere. In times like these, there’s a desire to break free, press reset and welcome in the new.
This change allows our imaginations to run wild and gives us the chance to create something new and exciting.
Everyone just needs to believe it’s possible. That’s where our Colour of the Year and three new
colour palettes come in.”
Quote from Dulux.

Definitely not a grey day
Thankfully the British summer was on my side for a few days allowing me to paint this exterior. It definitely needed a bit of TLC as the external of this property hadn’t been painted for some years. And as such had deteriorated to the point that certain areas of the woodwork had sucome to rot.
The property needed scaffolding on the front and part of the side elevation’s due to the limited access for a ladder and for the height of the apex section on the front elevation. This was sourced by the client and erected before work began.
Repairs
After some repairs were carried out to the masonry and woodwork, a fair amount of wood filler was used, the woodwork, masonry and carport were all painted to the clients specification and colour choices.
I always work closely with the clients and advising them on such things as if scaffolding is required and where, and also the colour choices and the best types of paints to use, this is the best way to have a good client relationship and at the end of the day everyone is happy and knows what to expect by the end of each day, and the completion of the job.
The results
Once the work was all complete, the client was very happy with the results, saying, “I am delighted with the work you have done”. You can see the before, during and after in the pictures below.
