“Every year, acclaimed design experts help us understand the mood of the moment, and this time is about adapting to change together, self-belief, social solidarity, vast knowledge and smart, sustainable solutions for the future.

“Change takes bravery but it’s also invigorating and inspiring. Our theme for 2021 is having the courage to embrace change.”

According to Dulux, Brave Ground “is a warm, natural neutral that’s an enabling and stablising colour. It’s also a versatile shade that lets other colours shine.”

It can be mixed with soft natural shades for a timeless interior, mixed with red or pink for a modern interior or combined with blue and green for a connection to the natural world.

Brave Ground follows Tranquil Dawn, which was named the colour of the year for 2020.
