Colour Forecast 2019

Legacy

What is the legacy we leave behind? Every day we tread the tightrope of time, pulled forward by hot, new trends and futuristic technologies. But there’s no ignoring our past, the ultimate symbol of elegance and time-honoured tradition. Legacy brings the past and present into timeless harmony with an eclectic mix of influences. Artwork: 'Orphelia Ritual One', Figgoscope Curates. Colours featured: Dulux Shepherd's Warning and Dulux Federation Brown.

Identity

Legacy values the timeless and elegant over the new and disposable.

Looking to learn from traditional crafts and techniques, Legacy takes iconic forms and elegant looks and marries them with modern statements of style. It calls up history’s most cherished classics and icons and adapts them to fit a new, modern vision.

Styling tip

Shelving is a perfect place to create little moments of interest. Mix up shapes and heights and mingle artworks and sculptural items alongside more traditional vases and vessels.

The Legacy Palette

A captivating palette of saturated hues ranging from pale pinks through to corals and grounded with soft lilacs and mauves. Accents of red, blue and green create an eye-catching contrast. Colours displayed should be used as a guide for your colour selection. To ensure best accuracy, test your colour choice at home by ordering Dulux Sample Pots and A4 Colour Swatches.

Legendary Lilac

Purples are luxurious and can feel either warm or cool, depending on the undertones. They can be elegant and can feel quite formal in deeper, darker tones. In lighter or more muted shades they can give the impression of a casual and more relaxed setting. Purples can be used in bedrooms, playrooms, formal living and dining spaces. They can also help create a dramatic mood as a hallway or entry colour, especially in the darker tones.

Keeping in the family

Rich, bold colour can be a powerful decorating tool. For a tonally immersive experience, call on variations within the same colour family. Here we’ve graduated from the rich red of Dulux Belly Fire, through to the softer pinks of Dulux Pink Linen Half.

Pinks are versatile, uplifting and easy to decorate with. From serene and sophisticated to deep and jewelled, pinks can brighten up a space in your home. Muted soft, powdery and subtle pinks are perfect for creating a tranquil space in nurseries and bedrooms or as an accent in a room whilst dusty pinks can add interest and work beautifully as a feature wall colour. Hot pinks can be bright and cheerful, great for features inside and out. Deeper pinks are ideal for highlighting key details and perfect for your front door.

Get the look with Legacy trend

The Dulux Colour Forecast is about more than colour, it helps bring trends to life in your home through styling and accessories. Here we take you through key elements and styling tips for the Legacy trend.

Celebrate the classics

The Legacy trend mixes up design references and takes inspiration from a whole range of eras in order to create something new. Celebrating iconic designs through the re-release of a classic piece, like this Featherston Expo Talking chair, is a perfect example of how Legacy pays homage to its past, with a vision to the future.

Colours displayed should be used as a guide for your colour selection. To ensure best accuracy, test your colour choice at home by ordering Dulux Sample Pots and A4 Colour Swatches.

Inspiration from within

Use your existing spaces to prompt new decorating ideas. Details like this beautiful leadlight window can be a great source of inspiration. The colours of the Legacy palette are drawn from these more traditional features, but can appear more contemporary when used in a bold way.
