Featuring pops of colour paired with relaxed and easy-to-use neutrals, Bright Spot is the ideal palette for popular mid-century architecture according to Bree Leech, Creative Consultant and Stylist for Dulux. Experimentation is the name of the game, according to Bree. “Experiment with hues to achieve a modern take on architectural colour palettes. Use bold hints of colour in architectural details such as the front door, pot plants and even letterboxes.”

If a traditional look is more your bag, theBotanical Life colour scheme might just be your best new paint pal. Featuring warm and welcoming neutrals paired with plant inspired hues, the colour scheme was inspired by laid-back outdoor living. “Outdoor living has become an Australian way of life and botanical features play a greater role in our wellbeing as well as our décor,” says Bree.
Natural Beauty

Natural Beauty is inspired by tactile elements with colours which are drawn from nature and focus on neutrals, warm greys and charcoals. Ideal for homes which include natural materials in their construction, it’s a relaxed take on Aussie traditions. “The Natural Beauty colour scheme achieves a look which is relaxed with colours such as Vintage Beige and Malay Grey which can be paired perfectly with materials such as brick, timber and stone,” says Bree.

To create a long lasting finish, these colour schemes can be applied with Dulux Weathershield which protects the home with a tough, flexible finish for long life protection from all Australian weather conditions.
