The 2021 Dulux Colour Awards invites design professionals to enter their projects that celebrate sophisticated and masterful use of colour across commercial, public and residential spaces.
Design professionals can showcase their cutting-edge use of colour in built spaces, says Andrea Lucena-Orr, Dulux colour planning & communications manager about the awards.
“It is evident that architects and designers are increasingly using colour as an integral design tool to provide a space meaning – in both its functional and environmental contexts.
“Dulux is eager to see their creative employment of colour across a vast breadth of architectural genres with this year’s submissions.”
