144 COLOURS IN OUR NEW RANGE

We all love to surround ourselves with colour, which is why choosing the right ones for your home is so important. Our new Guide is designed to offer help and inspiration. Inside, youll see that weve worked with some of the most beautiful colours in our new range to create stunning but simple looks for your home. In particular, weve created Feature Walls using blocks of vibrant colour against more muted shades. This is an easy way to lend a little drama to otherwise simple rooms or small niches. The colours weve used here are only a small selection from our range, so you might want to take a look at our whole collection before making a decision. You can see all of our colours on our Premium Interior Emulsions Colour Card, which you can pick up at our stores or from our contractors. At Dulux we love colour and weve really enjoyed putting together this new Guide for you. So whether you already know what colours you want to use, or are looking for ideas, we hope youll enjoy reading it.

A BEAUTIFUL CANVAS
Using our range of whites and pastels gives you so many stunning options. Create a modern look with crisp whites or mix pastels to give your room a wonderfully subtle sense of harmony and depth. Using pastels behind the shelving in the room above, weve introduced a warmth that offsets the very geometric shelves. In the room to the right weve used a different colour on each wall. The delicate contrasts lend a sense of depth to the space.

Soft Cookie (6598)

The detail below shows how good creams are for spaces where you need to bring different surfaces together for a smooth nish. The wooden paneling and the plastered wall are blended seamlessly by the rich cream paint.

ROMANTIC & SOPHISTICATED

The focal point of the bedroom on the previous page is the vibrant pink framing the bed. This is actually a oating Feature Wall created by painting a wooden panel. The simple room here (left) is made stylish by the contrast between the romantic colours on the walls and the hot pink used to paint the little table. This dusky pink (below) has a lot of darker pigment in it, which gives this colour its very modern, sophisticated tones.
We have 18 Pinks in our range

STRONG AND DRAMATIC

Using a panel of vibrant red as a Feature Wall in this kitchen brings it to life. And the drama is heightened by using it sparingly - creating a focal point for the room. The red is then picked up in the glassware on the table. Because the reds (below) are slightly darker hues, they work beautifully together on an entire wall to give the room a really strong, warm look. Again, the colours are echoed in the choice of the tablecloth with its red highlights.

EVER POPULAR, ALWAYS UPLIFTING

Yellow is a happy colour and is a favourite choice for childrens bedrooms. Using a sunny yellow on the wall weve created a charming, colourful room for a little boy or girl. The yellow on the wall on the right is very vibrant. And by providing a bold contrast, it does a wonderful job of showing-off the beautiful oor.

GREENS & BLUES

Whether brilliant or calming, blues and greens are the best-loved colours of nature and will always sit easily in your home.

NATURAL MAGIC
The painted wall niche in the sitting room on the previous page not only breaks up a large area, but also pulls the whole look together by echoing the colours of the furnishings.
On the left weve used two natural greens inspired by the colours of the garden. The effect is to create an airy and calm space. Perfect for unwinding in. The green below is bursting with energy and contrasts with the traditional dark wooden furniture, creating a modern look.
We have 18 Greens in our range

BALANCE & BEAUTY

West Pointe Blue (7306)

The three rich blues in the room to the right are sophisticated and tranquil shades. Because weve stayed within one colour palette, they work together even in a small space. The effect is to add depth to the room. By contrast, in the room below, the fresher blues are uplifting and reminiscent of sunny skies - perfect for a window.
We have 18 Blues in our range

Tranquil Blue (6310)

Blue Bolt (6336)

Harbour Blue (6727)

Celestial (8604)

GREYS & PURPLES

Sumptuous, rich and profound, this palette will lend stature to any room. Its also very versatile, and looks wonderful with both crisp pale colours and smoky darker hues.

Raspberry Purple (6953)

SENSUOUS & CHIC

The drama of this wonderful bedroom is provided by framing the bed using a deep purple contrasted by a lighter pink. This Feature Wall is then accented very simply with the creams and soft greys of the furnishings, which have been chosen to work with the cream oor. The grey on this wall (below) is opulent and yet also works as a very effective canvas for the richly coloured furnishings.
We have 18 Greys and Purples in our range

FEATURE WALLS
One easy way to add a dash of excitement to your room is to create a Feature Wall. This is simply done by painting a section or niche with really striking colour. It works best when the colour is set amongst more subtle shades. The effects can be stunning and can really lift a room. Have a look at pages 10 & 11,16, 22 & 23 and 30 for some examples.
