History & Uses of Dulux Colours
History & Uses of Dulux Colour Range
Dulux has a rich heritage in decorating and can trace their roots all the way back to the early 20th century when they serviced the Australian and New Zealand markets. The company has traded under a variety of different brand names over the years, but the name Dulux was first used to describe a new formulation created by the company in 1931, which was an alkyd-based synthetic finish. After the Second World War, during which Dulux produced paint for the special forces, the company introduced new formulas onto the UK market, designed to appeal to the DIY-ers in the 1950s housing boom.
After the dynamic and loud colours of the 1960s, the Dulux colour range played an influential role in the emergence of softer colours which suited tastes in the 1980s and 1990s. The turn of the Millennium saw the launch of the ‘Easy Living’ Editions range, including various popular ‘new neutrals’, and the Light & Space range, featuring a new type of paint which reflects twice as much light. In 2014, Dulux launched the Mixlab, which allows customers to choose the colour, function and finish of their paint.
Today, the Dulux range comprises over 1,200 colours in total.
Fit for the task
The Dulux colour range can be used in both interior and exterior projects, thanks to the wide variety of Dulux products that are available on the market. From standard walls to feature walls, and from cupboards to wooden garden furniture; there are so many ways in which the Dulux colour range can be applied, both at home, in commercial settings and in public buildings.
Colours can be used with the Dulux Silk range to achieve a delicate and shiny finish for both walls and ceilings. While colours of Dulux One Point can be a favourite with commercial decorators thanks to its convenience – with a satisfactory finish possible in just one quick coating.
Dulux has recognised the demand for variations of grey in 2019. Dulux greys can be used in bedrooms or in living room feature walls, providing an important balance for the brighter colours of fixtures and furnishings in a space.
