Colour Forecast 2027
The Dulux Colour Forecast 2027 offers a forward-looking lens on the cultural shifts redefining how Australians live. As ideas of home, family and work continue to evolve, this year's palettes capture a directional shift away from perfection driven and digitally curated living. Instead, there is a growing preference towards spaces that feel grounded, human and emotionally restorative, reflecting a desire to slow down, find comfort in everyday rituals, embrace imperfection, and surround ourselves with meaningful stories and personal connections. The result is a collection of colours that balances calm and energy, creating interiors that offer both quiet refuge and expressive freedom.
The Dulux Colour Forecast 2027 introduces a spectrum of nuanced hues that range from grounding, nature-inspired greens to rich jewel tones and playful blues. Berry shades, deep browns, bursts of orange and buttery greens come to the fore to provide inspiring and nurturing atmospheres across residential and commercial environments. These palettes encourage a harmonious balance of style and sustainability, fostering personal expression and versatility within any space.
Each palette features colours from across our decorative paint coatings and Dulux Powder Coat colours.
The full 2027 Dulux Colour Forecast range is available as a brochure download below or visit the Dulux Specifier site here.
