Bright Skies is Dulux’s Colour of the Year 2022

Lockdown, stay at home, work from home, don't go out, have been the watchwords for the last few years.  Yet the feelings we yearn for the most are those that embrace the great outdoors, those that bring a sense of freedom to our lives.

Dulux have more than picked up on this feeling across the population with the announcement of their colour for 2022 - Bright Skies.

This beautiful blue colour embodies open spaces, fresh air and the great outdoors, helping you bring the freedom of the outside world into any room.

Dulux Colour of the Year 2022, Bright Skies™, is a light, airy and revitalizing tone that can instantly refresh your living space. It works naturally with Greenhouse colours – a palette bursting with hues inspired by the world around us, from mossy greens to natural neutrals.

Here are just a few ways Dulux suggest you use this amazing shade

The ceiling becomes the sky

Ditch the white ceiling and choose a fresh blue limitless hue, Bright Skies is the perfect choice to bring that feeling of light and air to any room.

Mix with calm greens to create a calming and relaxing space that makes the most of any available daylight.

Colour connections

Why not mix soft greens, earth shades, and grey blues on the lower portion of the walls and doors, retaining the freshness of Bright Skies for the upper walls.  This wonderful effect draws your eye up to create a feeling of extra height, space and volume in the room.

Graduated colour

Kitchens can often be a clinical place especially as many of us have opted for crisp white, shiny chrome and grey accents.  Why not soothe the soul and embrace nature with a graduated wall, complimented by accessories that pick out the beauty of the colours.

This open shelving design by Dulux combines three colours that embrace the sense of nature and the outdoors.

Study naturally

An office space or study can become a dark space filled with an array of tech and not a lot of nature.  Dulux help overcome these issues with once again the subtle combination of colours.

Moon Cloud, Tranquil Dawn™, Bright Skies™ all work with each other to make the most of natural daylight whilst adding an uplifting and refreshing feel.
