olour often reflects how we want to live and feel. Now, more than ever, it’s having a big influence on our lives. As Dulux colour expert Davina Harper says, “We have all reacted to the upheavals of the last couple of years in different ways – some people crave lightness and whimsy, while others seek order and reassurance.” Here, we look at what hues will set the scene for 2023 and how to make an impact.
The new palettes
According to the PPG Paints trend report for 2022-2024, we’re set to see “a celebration of bright, bold colours at a time when their positive
influence is needed most”. The Chromatic Joy palette of playful hues, which suggests optimism and positivity, is key to reflecting this. Rachel Lacy, colour category manager at PPG Paints, explains, “The pared back, bright white spaces of minimalist design make way for comforting and joyful colour. Riot of Sunlight, Glowing Bars, Beautiful and Bright, Torc of Gold, Early Leaf and Everything Is Going To Be Alright are all perfect choices for bursts of colour.” Mood-lifting hues also emerge in Dulux’s 2023 Revive palette, including rose pink, breezy blue, sunshine yellow, emerald green, violet and burnt orange. Described as “retro futuristic”, they make a statement – so are ideal for accent walls. bunnings |
