The Dulux Colour Forecast for 2023 comprises three emotive colour palettes inspired by our need to reconnect with nature, desire for balance and calm, as well as revitalising our spirit with joy and play.

Introducing Balance, Connect, Revive.

Balance

The Balance palette features delicate pastels, oceanic hues like soft greens, and deep moody teals and blues, punctuated with accents of expressive red and near-black.

With so much uncertainty, there is a need to restore the balance and sense of calm in our lives. In a post-pandemic world rules and parameters provide reassurance. The allure of the ocean draws us in and allows its calming effect to wash over us. The ocean aesthetic inspires organic shapes with soft curves.

Elegant and refined, the harmonious lines and movement of waves influence colour and pattern in our interiors.

Balance

Connect

The Connect palette features soft earthy neutrals, naturals, muted greens, and wheat yellows, combined with accents of warm deep brown, grey and charcoal.

A connection to the outdoors has become vital to our well-being. Technology has provided new freedoms; to live and work in rural settings and rewards us by reconnecting with nature. Decor has a raw beauty featuring imperfections to honour the process of making.

We look for sustainability, authenticity and meaning in the items we choose to connect with in our homes.

Connect

Revive

The Revive palette is creative and joyful, featuring soft blue and lilac used alongside vibrant emerald green, warm yellow and accents of playful pink and purple.

With a need to feel secure and empowered we unleash our creativity and set ourselves free. Our individual style emerges as we reject past constraints, resulting in a joyful collision of colour and pattern.

This new freedom allows for creative expression while the power of play has the ability to heal.

Revive
