form the perfect balancing tone for 2026, enhancing mood transformation in
commercial spaces, public areas, and residential interiors alike.
Mellow Flow – 10BB 39/100
The colour of cloudless skies, this natural blue – Mellow Flow – is familiar, timeless and
soothing. A flexible, balancing tone, it works brilliantly with quiet neutrals, warm, earth tones,
and bolder shades. The hero blue in the Flow colour story, it can add an airy, expansive
feel to a space
Free Groove – 62BB 08/369
We’ve selected this striking cobalt, Free Groove supported by two other soulful blues. Vibrant
and exciting, it’s an uplifting shade that can bring individuality, depth and a bit of fun to a
scheme. The hero indigo in the Free colour story, it’s gloriously offbeat and upbeat.
Slow Swing – 66BB 06/077
The meditative Slow Swing brings stability and calm to an interior or exterior. Whether used
for large surfaces or smaller architectural details, it can help to ground a colour scheme and
give it weight. The hero of the Slow colour story, it’s a shade that is deep, dark and
a little bit magical.
Clinic White – 83YY 88/033
This year, we offer a universal neutral that will complement Dulux Trade’s colour stories.
Whether used for interior ceilings, walls or details, this white provides the perfect foil for
all the other colours in the 2026 collection.
