This vibrant shade reflects optimism and a sense of pride, perfectly capturing the spirit of the theme ‘Just Leap’.

Let True Joy™ bring a touch of sunshine into your home and spark the creativity you need to make your dream space a reality.
The Inspiration Behind the 2025 Colour of the Year
True Joy™ emerged from the Dulux Colour Futures Trend Forecast meeting, where experts explored the global desire to reset and embrace new beginnings. In 2025, the theme ‘Just Leap’ encapsulates this yearning for renewal and bold steps forward. True Joy™ embodies this spirit, offering a shade that inspires confidence and creative expression.
The colour draws from the idea of optimism in challenging times. Its vibrant yellow tone symbolises energy and hope, providing an antidote to the feeling that life is better elsewhere. By bringing this lively hue into our homes, we create environments that uplift and motivate.
How 'True Joy™' Reflects 2025’s Trends
In 2025, trends are rooted in individuality and forward-thinking design. True Joy™ aligns perfectly with this, reflecting a global shift towards embracing optimism and creating spaces that feel personal and energised. The theme ‘Just Leap’ encourages homeowners to step away from the ordinary and into bold choices that redefine their living environments.
This radiant yellow connects to the trend of finding joy in the everyday. Its vibrant energy creates active spaces that spark conversation and inspiration, making it ideal for homes that value creativity and self-expression. True Joy™ also aligns with sustainable design principles, as its sunny tone pairs beautifully with natural materials like wood and stone, grounding it in eco-conscious trends.
Additionally, the versatility of True Joy™ supports the trend towards multifunctional spaces. Whether used as a focal point in open-plan areas or to highlight architectural details, it adapts seamlessly to both large and small settings. True Joy™ not only reflects the design trends of 2025 but also serves as a tool for creating spaces that inspire bold leaps into the future.
Why 'True Joy™' Is Perfect for Both Modern and Classic Homes
True Joy™ is a versatile shade that suits both contemporary and traditional interiors. Its vibrant yellow brings energy and light, effortlessly blending with sleek, modern designs or enhancing the charm of classic aesthetics. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for homeowners who value timeless yet trend-conscious interiors.
In modern homes, True Joy™ can be used as a striking statement wall or to highlight architectural features. Its bold tone complements minimalist furnishings, creating a clean and vibrant look. When paired with natural materials like wood or stone, it adds warmth to modern spaces, making them feel inviting and lively.
For classic homes, True Joy™ acts as a perfect complement to traditional palettes. Its sunny hue works beautifully with rich neutrals, deep wood tones, and vintage furnishings, bringing a fresh twist to timeless designs. Whether you’re looking to revitalise a heritage property or add character to a new build, True Joy™ has the adaptability to suit any style.
Pairing 'True Joy™' with Complementary Colours
True Joy™ is a dynamic colour that shines on its own but becomes even more impactful when paired with complementary shades. Dulux’s three curated colour palettes—Bold, Human, and Proud—offer countless ways to integrate this uplifting yellow into your home.
For a vibrant and adventurous look, pair True Joy™ with bright shades from the Bold Colour Story. Colours like Exquisite Coral and Coarse Seashell amplify its energy, creating an exciting and active space. This combination works especially well in living rooms or play areas.
The Human Colour Story takes a more grounded approach, blending True Joy™ with earthy tones such as Wild Wonder and Quiet Hideaway. This palette is ideal for open-plan spaces, where the natural glow of yellow adds warmth and connection to handcrafted furnishings.
The Proud Colour Story offers a sense of rootedness, combining True Joy™ with rich, cultural tones like Tuscan Gold and Brave Ground. This pairing creates cosy, eclectic interiors that reflect individual heritage and style. No matter the approach, True Joy™ and its complementary palettes provide endless inspiration for every room.
