PROFESSIONAL COLOUR GUIDE 01
YOUR GUIDE TO COLOUR
This guide is designed to help you make the most of the DuluxTrade range of
premium quality paints. With over 200 paint colours at your fingertips, it will help
you to find what you’re looking for.
CHOOSING COLOURS
We’ve arranged all our colours by hue so you can quickly and easily go to the colour area you want.
And with so many colours available, you are sure to find exactly what you’re looking for. To help
you make the right choice, the colours in this guide are printed as accurately as we can using the
latest printing techniques.
Every DuluxTrade colour in this guide is available in a wide range of finishes* so you can be
sure that, wherever you want to use our paint, you’ll be able to achieve a perfect result.
See the appearance of the finishes in the centre pages, and you can find more information to
help you choose colours and create great colour schemes at www.duluxtrade.co.uk
TESTING COLOURS
When you’re choosing a colour scheme, remember to try potential colours where you’re planning
to use them. The same colour can look different in different rooms, in different light and even
on different surfaces.# Every DuluxTrade colour is available in a 250ml tester pot, with exception
of the Light & Space range, so you can try out the colour where it matters – on the wall.
*Some exceptions may apply, see page19 for details
# Refer to back page for more details regarding colour testing and printing accuracy

All British Standard BS4800 colours can be mixed in all of the products listed on p19.
• not available in Diamond Matt or Sterishield Diamond Matt
Useful information
Water-based paints Where possible, water-based paints should be selected in preference to solvent-based
paints – particularly for any large interior surface area such as walls, ceilings and floors.
Lead in paint All Dulux decorative paints are free from any added lead. However, the wood and metal
surfaces of the building, especially if it is pre-1960, may have been decorated in the past with a paint made
with lead pigments. Preparation and removal of such paint can be hazardous. A free leaflet explaining how the
surface should be prepared safely is available from the DuluxTradeTechnical Advice Centre on 0870 2421100.
Special Process Colours Some colours, termed ‘Special Process Colours’, may require additional coats or a
specific undercoat and are marked with #. For details of the process contact the TradeTechnical Advice Centre
on 0870 2421100 or your DuluxTrade tinted paint stockist.
Tinting Best Practice For best colour consistency, sufficient tinted paint, including touch-in, should be
purchased at the beginning of each job from the same source.
Diamond Matt – cleaning recommendations for painted surface. Common stains can be removed by cleaning
promptly with a soft cloth and clean soapy water. Allow to dry. Vigorous scrubbing and the use of abrasive
cleaners or scourers may impair the matt finish. Only apply enough pressure to remove marks. Oil based stains
and marks from some pens / felt tips / permanent markers may not be completely removed. Full durability
develops 7days after initial application. For information about removing specific stains, please phone
the DuluxTrade Technical Advice Centre on 0870 2421100.

We have reproduced this colour card as accurately as printing will allow. Please ensure that you use a colour
tester or sampler on the actual surface to be painted before decorating, as the substrate (and texture) of the
surface can change the appearance of the final colour, as can soft furnishings, the shape, size and lighting of the
room. Please note, colour testers indicate the colour of the product only and are not representative of the quality
or sheen of the final product purchased.
