Dulux Colour Mixing offers you the widest range of colours, all specially mixed for you in-store. We have a database of over 12,000 colours via our colour mixing system.

By following a few simple steps you can find colours that go wonderfully together.

There are three easy ways to use the colour wheel to create a beautiful colour scheme.

Using the colour wheel makes it easy to combine colours for a stunning scheme. Here we show you 3 ways to combine colours in soft furnishings and on walls for a look you’ll love.

Toning Use your favourite colour on walls and pick accessories in shades from the same colour family for a chic, understated look.

We’ve combined Mulberry Burst with intense purple cushions for a rich and modern look.

Contrasting To make a real style statement, combine colours from opposite sides of the colour wheel, such as red and green.

Here, the intense red shades of Redcurrant Glory provide the perfect backdrop for the contrasting green hues in the soft furnishings.

Harmonising Using colours next to each other on the colour wheel, such as blue and green, is the perfect way to create a subtle, balanced scheme.

Here, the soft blue tones of Blue Reflection marry beautifully with green shades in accessories for a stylish, inviting living space.

Neutrals. Create simple yet sophisticated modern spaces.The neutral palette is fashionable for all types of interiors – creating a sense of space and simple sophistication.

Taupes, mochas, lichen greens and dusty blues are amongst the most popular colours in this timeless palette.

Think of using ivories and creams with dusty greys or mocha shades; steely neutral blues with warm coffee.

Try Perfectly Taupe with Soft Truffle, White Cotton with Dusted Damson and Totally Nutmeg with Autumn Stone.

For larger spaces combine three harmonising colours, as we have used here, to allow the colour to flow through the whole building.

“ I love the variety of the warm and cool neutrals displayed together on the central pages, making it simple to view the subtleties between shades ”

Blues are able to create space and a feeling of calm harmony in a room. New trends focus on teals, ocean and duck egg shades which can be warmed with natural wood or tones of coffee and mocha.
