Just Leap with Dulux Colour of the Year 2025, True Joy™

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 was the feeling that came out of our Trend Forecast meeting.

Our conversations led us to the theme ‘Just Leap’ and to the shade True Joy™. This uplifting yellow was created to fill your home with creative energy, optimism and pride. It’s the cherry on top! A pop of colour that helps you move forward. It works brilliantly on its own as a statement colour or as a striking accent colour to complement other shades. 

So go on, if you can dream it, you can create it. 

You just have to believe it.

Take it into your own hands and find what feels right for you. Partner True Joy™ with neutral colours to create an active space that sparks conversation. Here, a subtle but striking yellow arch feature wall mixed with natural woods helps you bring the vibe.

Grow into it and create a statement wall that becomes the focal point of your home. True Joy™ stands out in a sophisticated way, when in combination with fine neutral colours. Leap one step further by using furnishings in similar tones to bring the positivity wherever you look. From candelabras to crockery, cushions to coffee cups. 

Really go for it and embrace the power of yellow. By colour drenching your kitchen with our Colour of the Year 2025 you can create a space that exudes energy and excitement. True Joy™ works wonderfully on its own or when partnered with other colours. Here, a combination of True Joy™ and dark woods has created an inviting and balanced kitchen. It’s only when we experiment that we move forward. 

Feel the energy, feel the creativity, feel the thrill.
