Dulux Colour Forecast 2026
Dulux Colour Forecast 2026
Each year, the Dulux Colour Forecast inspires the design community with palettes that capture the mood and direction of contemporary living. The newly released 2026 Forecast brings together three distinctive palettes: Evoke, Elemental, and Ethereal, each reflecting a desire for wellness, creativity, and reconnection.
At Italia Ceramics, we see these colour trends as an exciting opportunity to pair painted finishes with our extensive tile collections, creating spaces that feel both stylish and timeless.
Evoke: Bold & Expressive
The Evoke Palette celebrates individuality and a touch of nostalgia. Warm, saturated hues such as Baked Clay, Germania, and Magic Melon create a rich foundation, while accents like Misty Grape, Red Jacks, Wink, and Deep Aqua bring drama and personality.
These tones pair beautifully with patterned tiles, textured mosaics, or natural stone surfaces, offering depth and contrast for interiors that make a confident statement.

Elemental: Calm & Grounded
The Elemental Palette is about balance and stillness, built around soft whites and warm neutrals. It reflects a growing desire for interiors that restore calm in an overstimulated world.
This palette connects effortlessly with porcelain and stone-effect tiles in muted shades, creating serene foundations for open living spaces, bathrooms, and commercial environments.

The Elemental Palette
Ethereal: Gentle & Dreamlike
The Ethereal Palette offers a lighter, whimsical direction, with delicate tones that bring softness and tenderness to interiors. These colours transform a space into a tranquil escape, ideal for bedrooms, spa-style bathrooms, or spaces designed to nurture well-being.
Paired with tiles featuring soft textures, subtle gloss, or pastel undertones, this palette encourages a gentle yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Why These Palettes Matter
The Dulux Colour Forecast 2026 is more than a design guide. It reflects broader cultural trends. Earthy tones, biophilic influences, and vintage-inspired styling (“nanna chic”) are on the rise, encouraging us to design interiors that feel warm, welcoming, and deeply personal.
At Italia Ceramics, we believe that colour and texture are inseparable. By combining Dulux’s 2026 palettes with our premium tiles, whether bold mosaics, sleek porcelain, or natural stone, you can create interiors that capture the essence of these trends while maintaining timeless appeal.
