Trendy Tuesdays - Dulux Colour Trend 2013

Last Tuesday I looked at this year's Pantone colour trend, today I thought I'd show you Dulux 2013 colour Indigo Night. This gorgeous deep, mysterious blue is beautiful when used in small quantities, such a feature wall in bedroom, or for soft furnishings in a living room.

Dulux say that the deep blues are reminiscent of oceanic hues which provide a relaxing, soothing ambience. The colour, with its purple undertones, makes the perfect partner for natural wood colours, soft greys and fossil beige.

The muted tone of Indigo Night create a soft look and is the ideal stepping stone colour which does away with stereotypical associations of 'blues for boys'. This gentle colour is non-gender specific and with a nod towards inky blues is perfect those who love to match their interiors with body art and ink work.

Trendy Tuesdays - Pantone Colour Trend 2013

This year Pantone have made emerald their on-trend colour. This beautiful jewel naturally occurs in many different colour hues, but the one we're probably most familiar with is the gorgeous mid to dark green. As green is renowned for its energising affects this stunning colour is going to been seen both in fashion and within interior designs throughout this year.

With such an intense colour homes will be look luxurious, and when teamed with black or aubergine accents living rooms and bedrooms can easily become dynamic to look at. Be inspired by the jewel itself, focusing on clarity and saturation of colour. Only the mid to dark tones can truly be called emeralds within the jewellery trade, any paler colours are classified as green beryls.

Emerald is the birthstone of May and also associated with the zodiac signs, Cancer, Taurus and Gemini. Although you don't have to have any of these reasons to include this striking colour in your home.
