Now, more than ever before, our living rooms need to fill us with optimism, pride, imagination, and a creative energy. The Dulux Colour of the Year 2025, True Joy™ is the perfect living room paint. Why? Not only does it work beautifully on its own, adding optimism and warmth to any living room, but it also brightens up any space when used as a spontaneous accent colour.
Around it, we’ve created three colour stories – Bold Colour Story, Human Colour Story and Proud Colour Story – allowing you to experiment and play with what feels right for you. And in addition, our CF25 Yellows palette, in which we showcase all the yellow shades from the three palettes to celebrate our Yellow story! Find out how you can energise your living space by simply choosing one of our palettes…

Feeling brave? Create an adventurous space with our Bold Colour Story. Bright and zestful colours framed by True Joy™ create a living room that feels active and exciting. And if that wasn't enough, pops of coloured furnishings can add even more energy to your room, wherever your eyes wander.
