Choosing Colour

Choosing the perfect colour is never easy but help is at hand. The best place to start is a Dulux colour brochure followed by picking a selection of colour chips from the Dulux Colour Wall. The Dulux colour schemes are also a great help in choosing the perfect mix of colours for your home. It is worthwhile considering applying a texture to a feature wall to add some interest and individuality to your living space.

Sample Pots
It is always important to remember that colours can appear to change in larger areas and under different lights. Dulux Colour Solutions® Sample Pots are a great way to help test your colour selection.

Choosing Paint

Dulux Colour
It is a little known fact that only Dulux paint guarantees Dulux colour. While it’s a popular myth that you can tint any colour into any paint brand, it is just that, a myth, and the result is an inferior colour match.

Sheen Levels
When choosing paint it is important to choose sheen levels carefully. The reason for this is the sheen level can dramatically change the look of your walls. For example, flat and low sheen paints hide surface imperfections better than gloss paints, which is the reason they are used on most walls and ceilings.

TIP: Colours can look different in all shades of light so make sure you look at your chosen colour at various times of the day.
