The use of colour in Australia and New Zealand’s built environment has been nothing short of incredible. Dulux Colour Awards has recently announced 103 finalists with projects that exemplify the most innovative, creative and bold use of colour in our built environments.
On the announcement of the finalists, Dulux colour and communications manager, Andrea Lucena-Orr, says, “Architects and designers have pushed the boundaries with colour application to create inspiring, engaging – and often surprising – interior and exterior spaces.”
With six categories branching from residential to commercial spaces to student projects, we cannot wait to see who the winners will be. So for now, we’ve curated a list of just 12 of the 103 finalists that use colours in ways that we absolutely adore.
