Elemental
Dulux Elemental is a tonal, grounded palette built around warm whites and neutrals. It offers a calm, grounded counterbalance to the overwhelm of modern life.
In 2026, design trends are shifting toward comforting,
nature-inspired palettes that reflect our collective
desire for calm, connection, and sustainability.

Sustainability and nature remain a key design consideration and is thoughtfully woven
into this year’s colour forecast palettes.
Evoke
The colours in Dulux Evoke lean into rich, comforting tones instead of brights – creating depth, character, and warmth. It is optimistic, bold and expressive.
Ethereal
Dulux Ethereal features a delicate pastel-like blend of soft and mid-tone hues-gentle greens, mauves, and blush pinks-that evoke a sense of serenity and joy.
