<\/p>\nDulux has announced its Colour of the Year 2024 as Sweet Embrace\u2122, a delicate pale pink shade that brings a sense of comfort to your home.<\/p>\n
The paint brand\u2019s annual colour trend forecast is now in its 21st year and sees leading interior designers from across the world partner with Dulux to pinpoint a colour that represents the mood of the world.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 2024 colour was chosen for its comforting hues and gentle soothing energy while also tapping into the pink colour trend which has been popular in the world of interiors for over a decade.<\/p>\n
Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director and Colour Expert at Dulux, explains: \u201cWhat is so wonderful about Sweet Embrace\u2122 is its soothing quality. Like a whisper of reassurance in a moment of stress, it has a visual softness that calms the senses and creates an atmosphere of serenity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alongside the feature colour, Dulux curated three palettes featuring Sweet Embrace\u2122 to showcase how the colour can be used in different settings to create a truly personalised look.<\/p>\n

The Calm Colour Story<\/p>\n
Marianne adds: \u201cWhile being a beautiful standalone colour, it\u2019s a hue that perfectly combines with so many other shades making it a cheerleader in colour form. Sweet Embrace\u2122 celebrates and optimises every shade around it so you can build a totally individual space in any room. It\u2019s the perfect modern neutral that you can use with confidence, knowing it will unite each element from furnishings to artwork whilst creating a gently uplifting atmosphere.”<\/p>\n

The Warm Colour Story<\/p>\n
Marianne explains how multifaceted Sweet Embrace\u2122 is: \u201cWe\u2019re all running non-stop these days, so it\u2019s important that our homes provide us a raft in the storm, where we feel safe to take time out from facing our toughest challenges. A shade as subtle and versatile as Sweet Embrace\u2122 encourages us to get quietly creative and fashion spaces that allow us to be our best, most authentic selves \u2013 and vitally, feel completely at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
