It's Butter! Our 2025 Colour of the Year
A soft energizing Butter yellow with a creamy satin finish
Inspired by the most lovable ingredient of all, Butter is more than an indulgent, joyful colour. It's an invitation to savour life's simple heartfelt moments.
How Butter is spreading delight
Comforting
The nostalgia associated with yellow spreads warmth and cherished memories, creating a heartwarming atmosphere like melted butter on toast.
Indulgent
Pale, golden and velvety, Butter’s creamy richness elevates the simple into the extraordinary—from decadent pastries to precious memories.
Inviting
Soft and energizing, Butter beckons, welcoming you home and extending a warm invitation to stay a while longer and savour every moment.
How Butter became the 2025 Colour of the Year
Driven by the desire for comfort and nostalgia, the colour yellow, with its ability to transport us back in time, evokes warm memories. While it hearkens back to the soft yellows of the 1950s or 1960s, Butter feels fresh and modern, a classic neutral.
“Evoke comforting memories & bring a sense of delight to every space".
