Dulux reveals its Colour Forecast: mid-tones set to influence Australian interior design for 2024
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, this year’s Colour Forecast comprises three palettes – Solstice, Journey and Muse – that each reflect an inner desire for positivity and spaces that nurture within our homes. Mid-toned hues are a central theme, with rich golds, olive greens and reddy browns exhibiting warmth – yet each palette feels distinctly different.

Interestingly, while international travel is high on the agenda for those that are able, the financial pressure from the rising cost of living has spurred a wave of entertaining at home, with Australians embracing the comfort and convenience that comes with it. As a result, this year’s palettes step deeper into mid-tone shades that evoke feelings of warmth, security and resilience.
