2017 Colour Forecast

Sentience

Tactility is our relief from the pressure of the screen and the smooth unsympathetic surfaces we endure daily. Colours featured: Dulux Land Light, Dulux Beige Mystery, Dulux Pūpū Springs and Dulux Pinkham.

Texture has become a remedy for our senses

Move away from smooth, cold surfaces and surround yourself with warm colours, flesh tones and vegetal hues. Rediscover colours that are soothing and restorative; relaxing and tonal, but not dull. Create interiors with texture, tactility and undulating surfaces.

Subtle pastels and soft naturals make up the Sentience palette. New beiges with a hint of grey are versatile and will pair easily with the mellow hues of the range.
