13 Oct 2025

Color Marketing Group (CMG) have announced the latest hue that sings of October. Using this as inspiration, we’ve got just the designs to show you how to incorporate it in your next project with Resene paints and wallpapers.

Glow & Rebirth: Dynamic, energised and luminous

Rejoice as two vibrant greens emerge from opposite sides of the globe, distinct in origin but strikingly similar in inspiration and hue. These colours follow parallel paths that celebrate both nature and digital culture, offering a fresh perspective on what green is.

With medium chroma, high brightness and a balance of green and yellow, Glow & Rebirth reflect the vitality of the natural world, bringing a burst of energy to any design space. It appears almost neon and luminous, reminiscent of blinking cursors and glowing gaming setups. It’s also like an escape into a synthetic world that celebrates nature, yet feels energetic, futuristic and endlessly dynamic.

Ideal for tech-savvy spaces, contemporary retail settings and bold commercial projects, this bright hue is sure to make any design unique. Pair with deeper, grounding greens like Resene Saratoga, or dusky pinks and purples like Resene Vintage and Resene De Janeiro.

Find this colour in shades like Resene Hypnotic, Resene Sublime, Resene Spritzer and Resene Neva:

Plus, here’s two ideas for this colour trend using Resene Komar Wallpaper Collection 8-519 and Resene Citrus to give you a head start on using this hue:

Since this vibrant green has come to us in October, we find it’s tones in spring and nature. Resene Komar Wallpaper Collection 8-519 is the perfect wall mural to showcase this hue, mixing together Glow & Rebirth with other lush greens. Use this in spaces that need a burst of energy or where there are limited windows to bring the outdoors in.
