Spiced Honey has been unveiled by AkzoNobel's Dulux brand as the colour of the Year for 2019, following expert research into global trends, insights and consumer behaviours. Taking inspiration from Honey itself, Colour of the Year 2019 has a warm amber tone. It is versatile and contemporary, perfectly capturing this year's theme, "let the light in". The colour complements a wide variety of life and interior styles and expresses the new sense of optimism felt throughout our global trend research.

AkzoNobel comes up with a colour each year to set the interior and exterior colour trends and themes globally. "Our colours begin their journey at the Global Aesthetic Center, which has been responsible for trend analysis, colour research, colour design and art direction at AkzoNobel for over 25 years," explained Heleen van Gent, Creative Director of AkzoNobel's Global Aesthetic Center.
