After butter yellow comes chocolate brown: the colour trend for autumn 2025

Butter yellow sweetened our summer and now cosy chocolate brown will take over in autumn. Warm, deep and irresistible – the trend colour that (almost) always works.
It’s the kind of brown that reminds you of chocolate or bread and it’s popping up everywhere now. Not just in cake displays, but also in the world of interiors. With its warmth and retro charm, the shade brings just the right amount of cosiness to the cooler months.
In interiors, the warming, rich nuance, reminiscent of chocolate, cocoa and coffee, appeals to our need for security. It’s calming, grounds us and can be combined in so many ways. It looks particularly exciting with warm beige, cool blue or a touch of butter yellow (yes, the summer trend’s here to stay).
