Hi everyone! Today, we’re going to look at the latest color trends produced by the color specialists at Dulux, a paint company based in the United Kingdom. The Dulux color experts have given us another Color for 2021, along with four more paint palettes of various moods to complement it.

DULUX COLOR OF THE YEAR 2021: BRAVE GROUND
The Dulux Color of the Year is the “Brave Ground” brown. Along with our theme mentioned in our previous color predictions blog post, this color is of warm and elemental nature. Brave Ground “brings a bolstering, balancing feel to any room,” and is a versatile shade that works so well with other colorful or neutral hues.
Because Dulux is based in the UK, we have decided to show you their color trends for 2021 while providing comparable colors available at Sherwin-Williams. Here, you can see the Dulux Color of the Year along with a very close Sherwin-Williams match:
