"When choosing how and where to use the Dulux Colours of the Year 2026, start by thinking about the overall look you are hoping to achieve. If you lean more towards a light and airy interior, creating a colour palette using Mellow Flow, shades of denim, light oak and off white would be a great combination for an older children's bedroom idea or even for your guest bedroom ideas."
"Although I personally think all three don't sit that well together if you want to use them in one room, Mellow Flow, the lighter of the trio certainly compliments the other two shades and could be used along with a neutral, or even contrasting colour. This year's selection is certainly a vast difference to Dulux's Colour of the Year 2025, which was True Joy, a bright vibrant yellow. However, shades of blue are arguably more useable and adaptable across more areas of your home"
Dulux selected three distinct shades of blue as the 2026 Colours of the Year, each offering a different mood and application. Blue often gets labelled cold, but it can work warmly across many rooms including bedrooms, living areas and kitchens. Mellow Flow is the lightest shade and pairs well with denim, light oak and off-white for light, airy bedrooms or guest rooms. One shade, Free Groove, offers a punchier option suitable for kitchen-diners. The three blues may not harmonise in a single room, but each provides adaptable options when combined with neutrals or contrasting colours.
