Dulux Colour of the year 2022 - Bright Skies

Brave Ground was a colour that connected us back down to nature.

However, with this year’s colour we are looking up!

Bright Skies is a fresh and uplifting shade of blue that Dulux says is “open and good for the soul”. We are still connected to nature with this colour; it feels natural and is a true reflection of the sky above. The possibilities with this colour are endless.

It gives a soothing atmosphere, and any room painted with Bright Skies provides an escape from the stresses of our everyday lives, our own little heaven.

Dulux believe there is space for Bright Skies in everyone’s lives, at work or home and in a multitude of sectors, education, offices, residential, healthcare and hospitality.
