Living room painted in brown and green with green sofa and botanical prints
Combining Dulux Colour of the Year with natural blues and greens
Transform your walls with Dulux Colour of the Year 2021, Brave Ground and one of our easy-to-use color combinations. The blues, greens and greys of the Earth palette work naturally together and give any room a comforting connection to the world outside.
Brave Ground, Dulux Colour of the Year 2021, is a warm, natural neutral that creates a firm foundation for any interior scheme. Bolstering and balancing, it’s a color that echoes the fabric of the earth – soil, clay, stone, making even an urban space feel rooted and part of the natural world.
Brave Ground is also a color that lets other shades shine, and it works naturally with Earth colors of blue, grey and green. Used in combination, these tones create a calming, restorative feel that’s easy on the eye and that works in a modern or traditional setting.
Whether you choose to focus on one or two colors or get creative with an easy-to-achieve paint technique, this palette is perfect for giving any room a fresh new look. Here are four easy and inspiring ways to use it…
- Combine the colors of the earth, sea and sky for a calming bedroom
