These are the most popular paint colours in Australia right now

According to the experts at Dulux.

A fresh coat of paint can brighten a dull room, breathe new life into an old house or make a dramatic statement in a large space. Affordable and easy to do, painting the inside of your home is a cost-effective remedy to a variety of style woes.  While picking a colour for your home is an entirely personal choice, Andrea Lucena-Orr, the Colour and Communications Manager at Dulux, says Australians tend to gravitate towards whites and neutrals. Check out the list of Dulux’s best-selling colours in Australia below.

“You can see in the list that Dulux Domino, a dark charcoal colour, is ranked at number 14,” says Andrea. “We know more people are starting to use darker colours inside the home now, especially in bedrooms, formal rooms and theatre spaces.”

“Greys are also popular, in fact our Tranquil Retreat and Dieskau rank in the Top 20.

Most of these colours would mainly be used as broad wall colours or the main colour throughout the home,” says Andrea. “When consumers use stronger or brighter colours (not whites and neutrals), it tends to be in much smaller volumes, such as feature walls, one or two rooms or for doors and particular design features or details, and furniture.”
