I’m sorry to say but these colours are totally uninspiring, whilst it’s good to have a change from grey I found these colours rather depressing .

Sorry #Dulux, but it seems you have missed the mark with these colours. None of them are anything new, as people have said on here - just a trawl out of a muddy magnolia, or dirty earth. When creating new colours - we need new. When the teals and dark blues came on the market, they were a breath of fresh air, and an actual "colour". As a Professional I am desperate to get clients away from their safe magnolia, and I refuse point blank to include it in any of my schemes. A re-work of the greens would be a good starting point.

Thanks for your honesty Heather.

Colour is so subjective and although we want everyone to love our Colour of the
2021 Year Brave Ground as much as we do, it would be silly to imagine they
will. When we choose Colour of the Year and the supporting palettes it’s
as a response to something that we all want and need from our homes right
now. This earthy familiar shade was selected because it helps to create
soothing calm interiors in a world where uncertainty seems to rule the
day.

Brave Ground is a warm clay neutral which is designed to make other
colours shine, it’s a supportive ‘mother earth’ colour and like all good mums,
she provides a solid foundation on which to grow something beautiful that
expresses our individuality and personality. It can be paired with any other
shade effortlessly whilst providing balance and connection with natural
materials rather than being a colour that demands attention or imposes itself
upon the room and your belongings.

Give her a chance and Brave Ground
might just surprise you and maybe, just maybe you will change your mind.


Regards, Bal
