Autumn is an exciting time of the year (at least for me) largely because it’s the time all the colours of the year (also known as COTYs, for short) - or colour palettes in some brands’ cases - are announced by major paint brands, painting the picture of what our homes will look like in the new year. The overall colour palette for 2025 already has a much clearer direction than previous years.
When it comes to the various COTYs, it’s sometimes difficult to find a commonality between the paint companies’ proposed shades, they all have the potential to be a big paint trend for 2025. Yet, this year, I can see a common thread running through the shades and colour schemes – something I struggled with last year when picturing the colour palette of 2024.
