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, you’ll see that we’ve worked with some of the most beautiful
colours in our new range to create stunning but simple looks for
your home. In particular, we’ve 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 we’ve 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 we’ve 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 you’ll 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, we’ve introduced a warmth that offsets the very geometric shelves.
In the room to the right we’ve used a different colour on each wall.
The delicate contrasts lend a sense of depth to the space.

QUIET HARMONIES
This bedroom feels contemporary and yet wonderfully
restful because the two colours on the walls have been
chosen to harmonise with each other.
The detail below shows how good creams are for spaces
where you need to bring different surfaces together for a
smooth finish. 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 floating
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
Soft Montelimar 2 (5603)
Tippy Taupe (8262)
Azalea Pink (6137)

STRONG AND DRAMATIC
Barley Beige (7079)
African Tulip (3570)
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.
We have 18 Reds and Oranges in our range
Fudge Cookie (6142)
Drum Beat (6253)
Old Flame (6117)

and modern, yellow is wonderful for filling a
room with optimism and light.

EVER POPULAR, ALWAYS UPLIFTING
Yellow is a happy colour and is a favourite choice for children’s bedrooms.
Using a sunny yellow on the wall we’ve 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 floor.

Classic Mint (6905)
Nature Mist (5866)

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.
Moss Mist (6429)
Olive Leaf (8557)
On the left we’ve 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
Lyrical Lime (5484)

BALANCE & BEAUTY
West Pointe Blue (7306)
The three rich blues in the room to the right are sophisticated and tranquil shades. Because we’ve stayed
within one colour palette, they work together even in
a small space. The effect is to add depth to the room.
Tranquil Blue (6310)
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
Blue Bolt (6336)
Harbour Blue (6727)
Celestial (8604)

Fairy Dust (7797)
Fashion Passion (6925)
GREYS
& PURPLES
Sumptuous, rich and profound, this palette will
lend stature to any room. It’s also very versatile,
and looks wonderful with both crisp pale colours
and smoky darker hues.

Raspberry Purple (6953)
Pink Sorbet (7648)
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 floor.
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
Perfect Gray (6348)
Inland Waters (8342)
African Tulip (3570)

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.
