Welcome, Sweet Embrace™️. Described as a delicate tone by the experts at Dulux they hope this muted pink shade will bring nothing but positive vibes to your space.

Inspired by the softness of feathers and clouds at dusk, it’s hard not to feel a wave of positivity when you see it. Sweet Embrace™️ softens sunlit rooms while offering a warm flow to north facing spaces.

What we love most about the launch of the new Colour of the Year is that a lot of the leg work in terms of colour matching and styling has been done for us, with not one, not two but three complementary paint shades chosen by Dulux to create the desired vibe and aesthetic you’re after.

So what will it be? Warm and cosy, calm and serene or happy go lucky?
