Meet Soulful Sage™, the Dulux Colour of the Year 2027

Dulux has named Soulful Sage™ its Colour of the Year 2027. Soft, silvery and inspired by nature, this gentle green brings a calm, uplifting feel to the home while making the most of natural light.

It is an easy colour to live with, whether you are adding personality to a new Bloor home or simply refreshing a favourite room. Modern without feeling overly trend-led, Soulful Sage™ creates a considered backdrop for everyday life. 

Why green feels at home

Green is a natural choice for interiors. It can make a room feel settled and restorative, helping to create a welcome sense of balance away from the pace of everyday life.

Soulful Sage™ is softer than many statement greens. Its subtle grey undertones make it wonderfully versatile, sitting comfortably in both clean, contemporary schemes and more traditional family spaces.

Idea for every room

Living rooms

In the living room, Soulful Sage™ creates a relaxed backdrop that still feels fresh. Bring the look together with:

  • Warm oak furniture
  • Textured linens
  • Soft creams and off-whites
  • Natural stone accessories
  • Indoor plants

For a more immersive finish, try colour drenching across the walls, woodwork and alcoves. The single shade gives the room a calm, cohesive feel without overwhelming the space.

Kitchens

Soulful Sage™ brings freshness and warmth to the heart of the home. It works equally well with sleek contemporary cabinetry and the softer detail of a Shaker-style kitchen.

Pair it with:

  • Shaker-style kitchens
  • Brass detailing
  • White quartz worktops
  • Warm timber finishes
  • Terracotta accessories

Together, these finishes create a kitchen that feels light and welcoming by day, then warm and comfortable in the evening.

Bedrooms

In a bedroom, this soft green makes it easier to create a quiet, restful scheme. Combine Soulful Sage™ with:

  • Warm neutrals
  • Layered bedding
  • Soft taupes
  • Natural wood furniture

The result is a calm, comfortable space designed for switching off at the end of the day.
