The Sensory Palette

Dulux Sensory is a soft, tonal palette built around Botanical greens such as Dulux Moorland, Dulux Field Maple and Dulux Spinach Green, rich earthy browns such as Dulux Sweet Chocolate and Dulux Dark Cocoa and the light coastal blue of Dulux Blue Balm, create a grounded palette, while muted tan Dulux Barite and warm wheat-toned Dulux Buttercookie add warmth and familiarity. Together, these shades evoke stillness and restoration, creating spaces that feel calm, enduring and deeply considered.

The Play Palette

A palette filled with unexpected light and mid-tone colour pairings sees pastels such as Dulux Spring Fever, a soft yellow-green, meet lively rich berry and vibrant orange accents, like Dulux Baca Berry and Dulux Temptress, stimulating a sense of curiosity and creative expression. Dulux Canary Wharf, a striking cornflower blue and Dulux Catnap a mid-tone spearmint shade, introduce a refreshing buoyancy, anchoring the palette in playful sophistication. Elsewhere, Dulux Albeit, navy blue, and Dulux Rich Loam, a decadent warm brown, provide a grounding presence within the joyful palette.

The Treasure Palette

This palette captures the grandeur and depth of ancient treasures, featuring berry shades such as Dulux Raspberry Fool and Dulux Rich Red Violet. Shades of yellow and gold like Dulux Gentle Sands and Dulux Warm Woollen bring warmth and luminosity, balancing deeper tones such as Dulux Precision. Dulux Plunge, a striking teal shines as a contrast alongside Dulux Pelican Pink, an energising coral-pink shade. Together, these colours create sophisticated and immersive interiors that evoke a sense of drama and theatricality.
