Dulux predicts design trends for 2013 in annual colour forecast

Vintage design, fossicking and gathering, the meeting of old and new, and the rise of new technology are among the key influences that will dominate Australian design over the next 12 months – and with it our choice of colour.

The new Dulux Blur palette

That’s the message from Dulux, whose colour experts have studied global trends to develop six palettes for 2013.

The Dulux Colour Forecast this year draws on the themes of movement, social change, people power and the march of the digital age. It explores how colour is shifting and changing in modern times.
