Dyson Beauty’s new limited-edition colorway is ‘summer solstice inspired’ and it might be my favorite yet

• Dyson Beauty has a new limited edition colorway for its hair care gadgets
• It is called ‘Ceramic Apricot and Topaz’ and combines oranges and gold
• Dyson calls it ‘The Color of Summer 2026’

Dyson has unveiled a new look for its hair care tools. Inspired by the summer solstice, the color variant ‘Ceramic Apricot and Topaz’ combines shades of vibrant mandarin orange, soft apricot blush and accents of gold and pink. Dyson says the color combination captures ‘the astronomical, visual and psychological resonance of the longest, brightest day of the year’.

While that might be overselling it a bit, I’m definitely a fan. The warm tones remind me of summer holidays, and get me ready for brighter evenings and milder temperatures. (The announcement was particularly well-timed for me, as in south-west England we are just beginning to see the first signs of spring after what feels like months of solid rain and gray skies.)

“By researching the solstices, we were inspired to map shifts in daylight intensity, temperature and the color spectrum,” explains Amelia Ayerst, a leader on the Dyson CMF (Colors, Materials, Finish) team. “Using this data, we blended pigments that mimic the higher wavelengths of visible light found at sunrise, midday and sunset: warm apricots, bold oranges and playful pinks.”

Apricot and vibrant orange are used for the main body of each styling tool, with a metallic pink on the filter housing, and touches of gold are used for buttons and switches. Amelia describes it as “a palette that exudes liberation, energy and celebration – bringing the outdoors in and representing the high-energy life of the sun.”

Dyson is rolling out its ‘summer color 2026’ across its haircare range, including the Airwrap multistyler, Airstrait wet-to-dry straighteners and Supersonic Nural and Supersonic r hair dryers. The Dyson Corrale straightener is not in the press photos, so it may not be included.
