The finalists for the 2025 Dulux Colour Awards have been announced this week, and as Pantone predicted, it’s all about warm and earthy hues.
According to Dulux Colour and Communications Manager Andrea Lucena-Orr, hues of burgundy, gold-yellows and sage greens lead the palettes in the residential entries, although warm whites maintain a consistent presence, this year married with ‘greiges’, mist greens and soft blues.
“Year after year, we are presented with an extraordinary array of exceptional colour use that exemplifies the pivotal role colour plays in spatial understanding, placemaking and mood setting”, Lucina-Orr says.
“The judges remarked upon the strength of colour-blocking interior surfaces, as well as the bold use of murals in retail and studio environments.
“Student and professional entries in all building types are universally employing colour with extraordinary skill, impact and effect, and it is our great honour to recognise the best of the best each year,” Lucena-Orr says.
“In the Residential Interior category, projects like Claremont by WOWOWA Architecture and Coronation House by Brunsdon Studio demonstrated bold use of colour to create vibrant living spaces. The Single Residential Exterior category featured standout designs that integrated colour seamlessly with architectural form.”
88 finalists have been selected from 481 entries across eight categories, including residential interior and exterior, retail, public and student projects. The winners will be announced on 28th May 2025.
