Many people like to keep up with the latest trends, whether it is fashion, technological innovation or colour trends. I’ve brought you some colours from different companies to see if you can find one that will work in a room in your home, or just a section of wall. Let’s dive in.
Dulux
Dulux is the first on our list and I recommend it to everyone. The paint is the best value for money, its rub resistance and colours are available in most paint shops or supermarkets. They mix their basic white paints to the color of your choice, which they recommend and call True Joy. It’s a very bright yellow, warm and cheerful colour, I could absolutely see it in a child’s room.
If you’re not sure about the colour, choose a tester and apply it where you want. Look at it in light, dark, ask other people for their opinion, but the most important thing is that you like it and don’t overdo it.
PPG Trilak
This is definitely not for the faint-hearted. If a dark mood suits your style, this colour is sure to burn itself into the retinas of your friends and family. The colour is dark purple PPG1046-7. It can feel very organic, as many different flowers come in this colour in nature. However I’d say less is more. I’d put a wall of focus on what you really want to emphasise. Plus, you can mix this colour with enamel paint, so if you want to match a piece of furniture or skirting board to the same colour pattern on the walls, you can make it even more dramatic.
Benjamin Moore
I’m not going to lie, I’ve had the opportunity to paint with it once or twice, because it’s a premium paint that only a few can afford. The coverage of the paint was very good. However, 2 coats of paint were needed.Their chosen colour is Cinnamon Slate 2113-40 which is also a purple colour with some brown. From pictures it looks more subdued than the PPG but you have to see it in person. Purple can be mixed with gold, silver and yellow. So it might go well with the true joy from dulux.
Graham & Brown
I have absolutely no experience of their paint because I have only used their wallpaper, which was not only high quality, but easy to work with.Elderton is the name of the humble elder tree, which has deep brown leaves.Brown is a natural and calming colour, which is why many people like it in their bedrooms.
If these colours are not for you, choose colours that suit your personality and your home. The colours above are an excellent starting point because you can at least start to identify the colours that are out of the question (pastels, dark colours, cold colours, warm colours, etc.). However, if you only want the white colour because it is a lot quicker and cheaper, then please click here.
