Choosing Sweet Embrace was no random decision

Renowned for its high-quality paints and coatings since 1931, Dulux (by the AkzoNobel brand) has become a trusted household name for many. As a global industry leader with over 150 countries under its belt, it’s no surprise that the decision to make Sweet Embrace the Colour of the Year for 2024 came about after going through extensive research with industry experts. 

Led by Heleen van Gent, Creative Director of AkzoNobel’s Global Aesthetic Cente, a team of international contributors set out on quests to belong, embrace calmness and seize moments of joy in a world full of uncertainty. With the phrase ‘a place where you belong’ as their inspiration, the team brought to life a shade that felt warm, approachable and positive that could instantly make a home feel like a personal sanctuary against the challenges of the outside world. 

Sweet Embrace is described as a shade that gracefully transforms with the light. Not only does it work as a standalone shade, but it also goes well with three different palettes consisting of an array of complementary hues. 

Warm Earth Tones

From warm terracotta to natural sandy hues, this palette, when paired with Sweet Embrace, provides a sophisticated, modern and welcoming ambience. Besides that, warm hues evoke a sense of joy and positivity, making it suitable for living and family rooms.

Calming Neutrals

Featuring soft greens and neutral blues, this calm colour story is inspired by the woodlands and seascapes to exude a sense of peace and clarity. Perfect for office spaces or bedrooms, this palette allows you to unwind after a long day. 

Uplifting Pastels 

Designed to encourage positivity and happiness within your space, the uplifting colour story uses shades like soft lilac and mustard yellow. This playful combination of colours is great for creating an upbeat and energetic atmosphere, whether in the kitchen or kids’ bedrooms.
