Each year Dulux names a Color of the Year that reflects the mood and direction of interiors. The colors above are Dulux's official picks, shown with their real names and codes. Build a full scheme around any of them with the ready-made combinations, preview it on your own room in the visualizer, and work out how much paint you need with the paint calculator.
Our color tools run on our own catalogue of 26,000+ real paint colors across 16 brands — Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, Behr, Dulux, RAL and more — with the color math (HSL and CIELAB matching) computed in-house, not scraped from summaries. Every color you pick maps to a real, buyable paint with its code, so what you see here you can actually take to the store. We review and update these tools and their data regularly.
