Freedom is a warm, golden yellow that radiates individuality and change. Emerging from Asia Pacific’s 2022 meetings for 2024, this versatile hue symbolises independence and works across interiors, exteriors and various design contexts.  

You can use Freedom to add warmth and prosperity to your home. It pairs effortlessly with shades like plum, grey, navy blue and olive green, offering a radiant, uplifting glow wherever it’s applied. 

Here are three ideas for this colour trend using Resene Gold Dust, Resene Wallpaper Collection 428223 and Resene Fuel Yellow that you can try in your next project:
