Dulux announced some time ago that Brave Ground is the Dulux Colour of the Year 2021. The warm, natural and neutral tone aims to bring a bolstering, balancing and stabilising feel to your interiors. Brave Ground sits nicely against artisan-crafted furniture and natural materials including wood, stone, rattan, bamboo, wool and linen.

Aegean Teal from Benjamin Moore
Benjamin Moore has named Aegean Teal 2136-40 as their Colour of the Year 2021. Aegean Teal is a blue-green blend with calming qualities to help you reflect and reset. It bridges the gap between warm and cool shades with a laid-back and tranquil vibe. Again, we see a nod towards the natural world with this colour palette which will help you feel relaxed whilst lifting your spirits.

Global trend forecasters, WGSN, has nominated A.I. Aqua as their Colour of The Year 2021. It is an electric blue which will dominate the worlds of interiors, tech and fashion. It signals that artificial intelligence will become more accessible thanks to the speed provided by 5G. A.I. Aqua brings the natural and artificial worlds together as one.
Epoch from Graham & Brown (Affiliate Link and Picture Link)
Graham & Brown has announced Epoch as their Colour of the Year to celebrate their 75th diamond anniversary. Epoch is a deep and rich amethyst shade which is the birthstone for February. The rich purple tone is often associated with royalty because the pigments were expensive. It will undoubtedly create a sense of drama to any room you paint. The colour will help lift and trigger creativity so it would work well in your living room or home office.
