- Dyson Beauty has a new limited-edition colorway for its haircare gadgets
- It's called 'Ceramic Apricot and Topaz' and combines oranges and golds
- Dyson is calling it 'The Colour of Summer 2026'
Dyson has revealed a new look for its haircare tools. Drawing inspiration from the summer solstice, the 'Ceramic Apricot and Topaz' colorway combines shades of vibrant mandarin orange, soft apricot blush, and accents of gold and pink. Dyson says the color combination captures 'the astronomical, visual and psychological resonance of the longest, brightest day of the year'.
While that might be overselling it slightly, I'm certainly a fan. The warm tones remind me of summer holidays, and have me ready for lighter evenings and milder temperatures. (The announcement was particularly well-timed for me, as in the south-west of England we're just starting to see the first signs of spring, after what feels months of solid rain and gray skies.)
"Researching the solstice, we were inspired by mapping out shifts in daylight intensity, temperature, and the color spectrum," explains Amelia Ayerst, a manager on the Dyson CMF (Colors, Materials, Finish) team. "Using this data, we blended pigments that mimic the higher wavelengths of visible light found at sunrise, noon and sunset: warm apricots, bold oranges and playful pinks."
Apricot and vibrant orange are used for the main body of each styling tool, with a metallic pink featuring on the filter casing, and touches of gold being used for the buttons and switches. Amelia describes it as "a palette that radiates liberation, energy and celebration — bringing the outdoors in and representing the high-energy vibrancy of the sun."
Dyson is rolling out its 'color of the summer 2026' across its haircare range, including the Airwrap multistyler, Airstrait wet-to-dry straightener, and Supersonic Nural and Supersonic r hair dryers. The Dyson Corrale straightener doesn't feature in the press images, so may not be included.
It's listed as a limited-edition, but I expect it to stick around for a little while at least. The Jasper Plum and Red Velvet colorways were announced as limited editions in January 2025, but are still available to buy now.
In the UK, the Ceramic Apricot and Topaz colorway will be available to buy direct from Dyson and via Boots. Generally we see colorways being rolled out internationally, but I don't have details on availability in the US or Australia (although it may perhaps be timed to coincide with the arrival of summer in Australia).
