Earlier this year, a number of leading authorities have been trend-watching and announcing their picks for Colour of the Year. Pantone Inc., the global colour authority, makes its announcement each year with many waiting with bated breath for the results. In the UK, Dulux, the country's leading paint brand, also announced its Colour of the Year for 2017 - Denim Drift. Given that we are in the thick of the monsoon season, we thought this was an apt time to roll out our take on Dulux's chosen hue for 2017. Says Heleen van Gent, Creative Director Dulux’s Global Aesthetics Center, "Our review of international architecture, fashion and design trends revealed that blue is the colour of the moment. To make it relevant for your home, the team chose a blue that works as well in a kitchen as it does in a bedroom. Denim Drift, is the must-have colour for 2017. It will look great on your walls!"
