As one of the longest-running design awards programs in the region, the Dulux Colour Awards are highly respected and prestigious, and receive the highest calibre of entries. "We should no longer be surprised by the ingenuity we see in this awards program," Lucena-Orr, judge and colour and communications manager for Dulux said. "Year after year, we are presented with an extraordinary array of exceptional colour use that exemplifies the pivotal role colour plays in spatial understanding, placemaking and mood setting.



" Gold-yellows, burgundy and sage green hues lead the bolder palettes in residential domains - case in point, the Hilltop home in Victoria's high country (pictured) created by Flack Studio. Not surprisingly, warm whites also maintain a consistent presence, this year married with 'greiges' (mist greens and soft blues). "There is such artistry in the tonal graduations we're seeing in exteriors and interiors alike, to the extent that form, material, landscape, and plays of light across the day have all been considered in the nuanced specifications," Lucena-Orr said.

Winners will be announced at the National Gallery of Victoria later this month.
