Discovering the Fascinating Legacy of Dulux Heritage Paints

Dulux's legacy has always been synonymous with luxury. As far back as 1931, the Naylors, skilled varnish makers, collaborated with the talented chemist H.H. Morgan to introduce their groundbreaking alkyd-based paint. Drawing inspiration from DuPont formulations, this remarkable creation emerged under the moniker 'DuLux,' seamlessly merging 'DuPont' with 'Luxury.'

The 1940s witnessed an intriguing phenomenon – structures adorned with Dulux paints before the war outshone those coated with other products by a factor of ten. During a period of darkness in history, Dulux paint infused vibrancy into architecture. Within an astonishing four years, it ascended to become the nation's premier paint brand. The 1950s marked a shift, as people sought to move beyond years of austerity. Eager to embrace personal decorating endeavours, individuals, including women who had contributed to traditionally male industries during the war, employed their newfound skills to wield the paintbrush. In response to the burgeoning DIY trend, Dulux unveiled its inaugural consumer-oriented range.

The 70s ushered in a penchant for tonal room aesthetics, with vibrant hues like Poppy, Sultan, Lime Juice, and Sunshine dominating the scene. Progressing into the 80s, a more sophisticated palette dominated, characterized by calming creams and whites. The 90s witnessed a surge in interest for paint effects and themed rooms.

In the pivotal year of 1990, Dulux curated the opulent Heritage Collection, a reservoir of the most lavish and opulent colours to date. In collaboration with renowned colour historian and paint analyst Patrick Baty, the collection drew from scientific analysis of historical hues, capturing the essence of periods between 1714 and 1939. This fusion of the past with the present ensured an ageless quality to each shade. By 2021, Dulux Heritage emerged as a standalone product, expertly blending colours resonant with the original Heritage collection and contemporary favourites, democratizing exquisite interiors for all.
