Spiced Honey is Dulux’s Colour of the Year 2019

The shade embraces positivity and is incredibly versatile

Every year, colour specialists from the Dulux Global Aesthetic Center get together with international design experts and architects to discuss the new global trends that will affect society.

They then work on transforming these insights into one key colour that will have an impact on homes all over the world. 

In 2018, the Colour of the Year featured a contemporary, grown-up pink representative of a “welcome home” – a place where we can shut the door to the outside world and step into a sanctuary that is uniquely ours. 

Next year, Spiced Honey is the Dulux Colour of the Year. The warm amber shade has been chosen to reflect a new mood of positivity and optimism – a desire to “let the light in”.
