DULUX COLOUR FORECAST 2027
A MORE HUMAN WAY TO LIVE WITH COLOUR
For more than 25 years, the Dulux Colour Forecast has looked beyond trends to the moods shaping New Zealand interiors. And for 2027, perfectly curated is making way for something warmer, more personal and properly lived in. Hallelujah!
Dulux captures this through three distinct palettes — Sensory, Treasure and Play
Spanning nature-led greens, playful blues, warm neutrals, deep browns and flashes of berry and red.
It’s an idea close to our hearts at SUEDE + STONE. We’ve always believed a home should capture not only how you want it to look, but how you want it to feel. SENSORY
A sensory experience designed to reconnect us with the feeling of home — creating interiors that engage the senses and encourage us to slow down.
Quietly restorative, Sensory is about noticing the beauty in everyday things and becoming more aware of the spaces we live in — how light moves through a room, the materials we touch, the scents we associate with home, and the connection we find through nature and craftsmanship.
It’s a palette that feels grounded, quiet and deeply comforting. TREASURE
Rich, expressive and full of character, Treasure steps away from stark minimalism and invites us to create interiors with depth, history and personality.
It’s about surrounding ourselves with things that mean something — collected objects, treasured pieces, symbolic details and furniture that carries a story. Rather than simply decorating a room, we’re creating spaces that reveal something about the people who live within them.
PLAY
Joyful, optimistic and a little unexpected, Play is a celebration of life — a game on the table, friends dropping in, laughter filling the room and those imperfect moments that somehow become the best ones.
This palette invites us to loosen up and have a little more fun with our interiors — to mix colours we might not normally put together, embrace personality and create spaces that feel expressive, flexible and uniquely our own.
