nice (y)
you plonker haha
Thought it said luminous green, thoughs Next door can hate me even more (embarrassed) ;( (embarrassed) (embarrassed) (party) 🥂
Beat me to it!!
I quite like this. Jazz up some radiators or my garden gate. 😁

Aren't these still 3 for 2 at B&Q???

Thanks bud. Here's all the details. Really impressed with the colour and paint quality. Valspar...
Is that the green smoke from farrow and ball? Looks lovely
I love that green … it’s all a matter of preference I suppose (y)
Yep its all about the green... Did the bedroom recently...
Nice colour. Just painted the kitchen with this



When I was looking to decorate one of my rooms I spotted this colour and the reviews saying this exact thing. I ended up buying a selection of samples and this one actually turned out ok. I think it’s dependent on the light in the room. But I defo didn’t want a purple room (lol) . So best to sample first!
Such a dull colour, lifeless
Painted it over a creamy colour Why always used silk and its better thn. Matt matt id dull What if i mix midsheen manhattan’s grey with silk pute white?
Don't use that colour, it's far from the match on outside of tub. We had this applied by a decorator in hallway and when light shines in through porch window it looks light purple.
"Polished Pebble" I wouldn't use silk on walls or ceilings though. Matt is generally better. And satinwood for woodwork. If you use the very good "Easycare" matt paints which are much stronger than the above they have a slight sheen too which is a great finish without being as revealing as a silk.

Dulux emulsion is genuinely terrible paint, use Wilko home brand or Johnson/Leyland for best results in my experience.
Dulux: Get Beautiful Paint For Less
Dulux is a massive international paint and general DIY brand, selling a massive variety of paints and primers from almost 200 Dulux Decorator Centres across the UK. Whether you are redesigning a home interior from scratch or just touching up your window frames, Dulux paints will provide the colour you need, usually at very reasonable prices.
This buyer’s guide will lead you through all of the products Dulux has to offer and provide some handy design guidance if you are embarking on a project.
The History of Dulux
Dulux was founded in 1931 as a sub-brand of the international chemical giant ICI. However, it was the post-war era that saw the brand establish itself in British culture. Its success was largely due to a brilliant advertising campaign featuring a British sheepdog (leading to “Dulux Dog” becoming a specialist breed of sheepdog over the years). At the same time, the catchphrase “say Dulux to your decorator” became a household phrase. With millions of families starting their own households during the 1950s and 60s, demand for paint soared and Dulux were ideally situated to take advantage.
ICI may have passed into history, but Dulux continues to thrive. During the 1970s, they achieved huge success catering for new design trends, allowing designers to easily mix vivid colours that became the trademark of the era. The 80s brought new fashions, such as pale creams and greens, but that didn't stop Dulux, who could smoothly change their product range to suit changing customer desires.
In the 2000s, the firm has continued to innovate, offering online colour matching services, introducing specialist “Light and Space” paints that are more reflective, maximising interior light, and launching revolutionary apps like Visualizer to help customers find precisely the right paint for their needs.
With 190 Dulux Decorator Centres around the country, you can still see Dulux staff in person and ask for their advice. It all means that Dulux continues to be the first brand UK customers look to whenever they are starting a challenging paint job.

Looking At The Most Popular Paints Available From Dulux
Dulux specialise in paints, but not just any old paints. Their products allow you to paint interior and exterior spaces, with specialist products for surfaces like wood, metal and tiles. There are specific suggestions for different rooms of the home, paints for different lighting conditions and finishes ranging from matt gloss to eggshell. With so much choice, you can translate your interior design visions into durable, attractive reality.
Of course, Dulux is best known for its paints, and there are a few paints which are particularly popular amongst the British public. Let’s have a look at some of the most used interior paints from the Dulux range:
Polished Pebble – Perfect for any room in your home, this neutral paint goes with most other bold colours. You can use this to paint pretty much any interior, so you don’t have to rely on multiple neutral paints across your home.
Egyptian Cotton – A slightly bolder neutral paint, this rich colour is designed going with rustic hues like lilac, aubergine or honey mustard. Looks great in your living areas, while also bringing an extra bit of spice to bathrooms and kitchens.
Sapphire Salute – This deep blue colour can be easily mixed with lighter paints to create really impressive effects in bedrooms or your living room. The paint is dynamic enough to be blended with peach or gold colours for those who wants an interior that really makes an impressions.
Denim Drift – A lighter blue colour that’s perfect for bathrooms and kitchens, Denim Drift goes well with tiles, allowing them to pop. You can also combine it with loud oranges to make them pop more.
Spiced Honey – If you’re looking for a luxurious colour for your master bedroom, then look no further than this beautiful, golden-brown paint. It combines beautifully with neutral whites and greys to create a relaxing atmosphere in the room.
What Products Does Dulux Offer
While many only think of paint when they think of Dulux, they offer a wide range of other products for protecting and enhancing your home’s interior decoration:
Primers – The foundation of a successful paintjob, primers come in a variety of forms. Some help to deal with alkaline surfaces, some are designed for use with wood, others provide extra “grip” for exterior surfaces, and there are quick drying standard primers for everyday painting tasks.
Emulsion paints – Dulux's basic interior paints, emulsion paints tend to feature paint particles contained in a water-based solution. As the paint dries, the water evaporates along with any other solvents used in the paint, leaving a water-resistant, smooth surface that should last for over a decade.
Endurance – Endurance paints are even longer-lasting than emulsion paints. They have been designed to be easy to wipe clean, making them ideal for families where writing on the walls with pens or crayons is always a possibility. Dulux's endurance selection also comes in a range of tasteful light colours, allowing home owners to choose whatever colours they desire without worrying about hiding stains.
Once – Generally, you'll need to apply a primer and then one or two coats of paint to get the very best finish. However, that's not the case with Once. In this case, Dulux promise that you can achieve impressive finishes with just one coat (hence the name).
Light and Space – A recent innovation, and a brilliant idea, Light and Space features a range of paints that are twice as reflective as conventional emulsion blends. Thanks to a system called “Lumitec” these reflective paints can convert cramped, dimly lit spaces into welcoming, airy and pleasant places to spend time.
Kitchen+ – Specially formulated to be used in kitchens (unsurprisingly), Kitchen+ has the properties required to stand up to grease and heat, and most stains can be removed easily without compromising the paintwork's colour.
Bathroom+ – Designed for bathrooms where humidity and steam are factors to contend with, Bathroom+ will keep your paint looking luminous and flawless over the long term and comes in a range of mellow, bathroom-friendly colours.
Feature Wall – An interesting range of accent paints which are designed to create eye-catching surfaces. Feature Wall comes in bold colours like “redcurrant glory” and “lemon punch” and are ideal for exuberant, confident interior designers.
Things to Look for When Buying Dulux Paints
If you aren't used to buying paints, the terminology and choice can seem a little overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. Here are some things worth bearing in mind:
Firstly, emulsion paints are usually going to be the right option to go for. They are long lasting and produce a smooth, reliable finish and, more importantly, they tend to be cheap. Don't opt for specialist Dulux paints unless you absolutely have to. But, if the task requires them, don't hesitate to use specialist oil-based wood paints, for example.
Think about who is going to be using the space you are painting as well. If kids are involved, then it's usually better to opt for a “glossy” finish, rather than a refined, matt finish. That way, any stains will be easier to conceal and clean. Having said that, Dulux offer stain-resistant varieties like Endurance that can be a good balance. They aren't the cheapest Dulux paints, but if you take advantage of Endurance paint offers, you can create a light, contemporary interior that is also well protected against little ones.
Light is another thing to think about. Nowadays, paint is a brilliant way to turn dingy, poorly lit spaces into liveable rooms. If you go for a choice from the Dulux Light and Space collection, you can ensure that you make the most of any natural light. It's a great tactic to use in smaller flats and houses, where space is at a premium.
Think about your personal situation as well. If you intend to remain in the same property for years, go ahead and let your imagination run riot. But if you are thinking about relocating soon, it might be prudent to opt for a neutral white. Buyers like white walls as they can introduce their own design ideas easily, instead of slaving away removing red or blue paints before applying a new coat.
How to Choose the Right Colour Scheme When Buying Dulux Paint
We've already mentioned the value of thinking about natural light and whether you might want to sell your home. Both factors feed into the colours you choose. But personal taste is much more important. It's vital to experiment with colours and blends to find a range of tones that matches your tastes. Not many people enter the paint buying process with a fully-formed idea of what they want, so it makes sense to consult experts as you go along.
It also makes sense to use technology to help find the right mix of colours. Thankfully, Dulux have introduced the Visualizer app for Android and iOS phones. Using augmented reality technology, Visualizer allows you to load different colours onto photographs of your home, seeing how they would look with different colour schemes. Dulux can offer suggestions of their own, and you can share photos or videos of your ideas with friends and family. It all helps to arrive at a well-researched, properly considered design project – instead of relying on gut instinct.
Where to Buy Dulux Products
You can buy Dulux paints at hardware stores like HomeBase, via the Dulux website or at one of the 190 Dulux Decorator Centres that are located across the UK. To find your nearest centre, just use the Store Finder.
When you pay Dulux a visit, you can talk through your options and mix and match paints to find the right blend for your home interior. Before you go, it's probably worth taking a few photos of your home's interior (or exterior) to give staff an idea of what you might need. They should be able to provide expert advice and select the right paints from the Dulux range.
And their advice will go beyond just paints. When you attend a Dulux Decorator Centre, you'll find plenty of other handy decorating products, including:
Woodcare products – Take care of your prized furnishings or beams by sourcing varnishes, stains and preservatives for different types of wood. There are sections for both outdoor and interior wood treatment, so whatever item or type of wood you are dealing with, Dulux should come up with a solution.
Decorating accessories – Essential items for decorating your home and garden, including brushes, aprons and overalls, preparation products like abrasives, fillers, masking tape and removers, as well as ladders, platforms, dustsheets, sealants, sprays, containers, cleaners and rollers.
Wallpaper – Dulux's wallpaper collection allows you to combine beautiful paintjobs with gorgeous wallpaper designs.
If you have a large order to fulfil, you can ask Dulux to deliver (or order online). Delivery is free of charge for all orders above £50, and it's also free for any order if you have a Dulux account.
If you decide to order online, you can pay using VISA, Mastercard and PayPal, and you can also use your Nectar Card points to slash the cost of decorating.
How to Paint A Room The Right Way
Generally, painting involves a series of steps, with specific products required at each stage.
Firstly, the surface needs to be prepared. This usually requires you to sand plaster or wood to create a smooth surface, to thoroughly clean the surface and to plug any holes using filler. That way, the paint surface won't contain any unsightly flaws.
Next, painters tend to separate the space they are painting from the rest of the room using masking tape. You can buy specialist painters' tape from the Dulux website.
After that, decorators generally use primer to prepare the surface to receive emulsion paints. You can purchase a range of primers from the Dulux website, with different options for different paints and surfaces.
Then comes the fun part – using your brush or roller to apply Dulux paint across your chosen surface. This may require more than one application to achieve a long-lasting, even finish. Painters generally also start by painting the trim (around the tape), before filling in the middle section.
Finally, comes finishing and cleaning. The tape needs to be removed. After that, you might want to use varnishes to touch up the finish and, when the paint has dried, to brush off any imperfections (gently).
Crucial Accessories for Interior Decorators
When you embark upon a design project, having the right accessories is as important as buying the right Dulux paint. We've touched upon some key accessories above, but here's a recap of the kit you'll need before you start applying any primer:
Brushes – High quality brushes are a must. Try not to go for the cheapest available, as these won't last much longer than a single project, and make sure you have a range of lengths. At the least, have a 12mm and 75mm brush to hand before you start.
Rollers – A single roller should suffice. 9-inch rollers are ideal for larger surfaces, while you can buy mini rollers for precise work.
Dustsheets – Never start painting before covering furniture and flooring with a dustsheet. Newspaper can supplement a good dustsheet, but isn't a viable replacement.
Masking tape – As mentioned above, masking tape is used to ensure that the surface to be painted is separated from the surrounding area. Don't use an ancient roll of masking tape that's lying around. Buy a new roll to ensure that it will adhere properly.
Sandpaper – Creating a flat surface is essential if you want to get a good paint finish. Don't skimp on this part. Always have enough sand paper to hand (and a few sanding blocks) to create a perfect surface to start applying your primer.
Ladders and steps – If you are painting high walls or ceilings, don't assume that you can perch on tables or chairs. Stay safe by having an adjustable painter's ladder which can keep you stable at all times.
Those are the basics, but there are plenty of other accessories that are well worth checking out. For instance, filler and Stanley knives are handy, as are wallpaper brushes (if you are applying paper). Chemicals like brush cleaners are also a big help (although white spirit will do just as well, and many people have some stashed away).
How and When to Make Your Next Dulux Purchase
If you are ready to tackle a major painting project, Dulux is the company to turn to, offering all of the paints, finishes and tools painters could need. But when you add up all of the products required, the cost of painting can really add up. So how can you get the best deal?
First off, take advantage of any discounts you can get from Dulux. Use your Nectar Points or sign up for a trade account (if you qualify). If you are working with a trade professional, they may also be able to get hold of what are called “Refresh Vouchers” as well, which can be cashed in for Dulux products.
However, we can't all work with professionals. For most of us, the best way to find cheap Dulux paint deals is by searching the hotukdeals listings, where you'll find all of the company's paint products at big discounts. Dulux paints are sold by huge UK retailers like Homebase, Travis Perkins, Wickes and Tesco and new offers appear all the time, so don't miss out.
Certain times in the year also provide better chances to save. For instance, the New Year often sees big discounts as home owners start to consider their decoration options, while Black Friday can also see big savings on paints and accessories. In any case, you'll find the biggest Dulux discounts listed at hotukdeals as soon as they become available.

Expire
Not available any more
No it's 2 for £26, same price (y)
Please can you share the link? Thanks
Thanks @SebK

I just picked up my free paint from a local dulux shop. They mixed it to the colour I picked while I waited. Excellent service. Thanks OP! Now I just need to dig my paint brush out 😁
Any ideas who the participating paint merchants are?
Got mines today :D
Received the voucher yesterday 👏

Went yesterday and can confirm it is instore and includes all colours including the stuff they mix for you in store (which is nice). Does not include any white though. However. You can buy the white they use as the base to mix other colours and that is included. Apparently that is technically a colour with no colour in it rather than a white. (confused)
Can't combine with the £5 discount
Fantastic offer. As currently decorating the house brought 3 of the 5 litre Dulux easy care range for £63.99 would have normally cost me £95.99. Fantastic price as cheapest price for one is £32. Also available for click and collect Yes availabile in store aswel
Cool.. I have a credit note so I need to buy in store...:-)
Was available in store yesterday when I bought paint. It didnt include white paint though.

Can i use bathroom paint thats washable in the kitchen anyone plz?
I wonder how red or black ceiling would look (skeptical)
Trade paint is definitely better but much more expensive. Great price. This deal is for the feature walls you’ll do after the basic whitewash. (y)
Ah, the old Dulux 5 Coat - i'd rather get a better quality paint and save my time relaxing than painting the same wall over and over.
Brilliant white @B&Q 2x10L for £40

Never ever use "warm" water to clean brushes or rollers.. I'm in the trade and I know that if your cleaning rollers or brushes (water based paints) always use COLD water..
No ,total waste of time and possibly damage the roller sleeve ,just take the sleeve off run it under warm water rinse out the worst put it back on the roller frame and spin it out ,it's ready for another colour in 5 mins
In an old bucket, or cardboard box... Give it a whizz to remove the bulk of the paint, then a slow few seconds in a bucket of water, finally a high speed 10 second spin to dry, its like magic !
Do you rinse it first before spinning it?
I think I got 2 days wrapping in cling film. Just make sure roller and brushes are covered in paint so they don't dry out

Zinsser is great product but I wouldn’t recommend putting this stuff on top of it (shock) . As a shellac paint it takes some getting used to too. Ps a solvent is anything that can dissolve another substance. So a oil based/alkyd or a shellac based and a water based paint are both technically solvent based. It’s the VOC that determines the volatility of that solvent. Any solvent based paint will yellow in time given the correct conditions.
Come back in a year. If a paint needs loads of coats to achieve even a semi decent finish it's not good paint. One coat of decent primer and a top coat is all you need, if you have to put in extra effort and waste hours and hours you know you will be revisiting it again over time and doing it all over again. Everything looks ok as soon as painted, what makes a difference is looking back at it in a year's time. Plus the extra coats fly on because they never really bond properly to the coat underneath. Paint will never properly cure underneath and so after some time will stat to peel, chip really easily. Like the idiot who we bought our current house off, thought he was doing us a favour going round giving all the wood work a coat of paint, used cheap ass Dulux even though told them not too decorate as wouldn't impact our decision, after a few months had to start scrapping it all off to redecorate properly. Look at zinsser paint range. Can't go wrong with the BIN range and probably the best primers on the market and good enough for a top coat finish as it sands extremely well flawless finish. It's expensive but at same time based on coverage and time it's actually cheaper than say this Dulux satinwood. Solvent based paint as long as not oil based will never yellow.
Often occurs in areas which have poor lighting and are damp or a water based primer/undercoat has been used prior to the application of the solvent one. Sun effectively bleaches the chromophore pigments created naturally when the paint dries but their production is accelerated by moisture. Hence why your cupboard doors are always the worst. Previous solvent based paints were tweaked in order to adhere to EU VOC legislation and had their drying oils/solvents reduced which also created yellowing issues. Fortunately paints bought post 2018 are less likely Even Dulux knows there’s issue with how soft this paint is which is why they produced a ‘Diamond’ Satinwood which while tougher still becomes soft to touch where skin oils come in contact with it. Still when it comes to having to repaint it means that you’ll need to scrape all this awful soft stuff off before repainting which hopefully means you’ll finally use a professional like you should have done to start with (y)
Ooh I’ll take a look at the fan as the one have isn’t great! And will definitely follow your advice when I finally get round to repainting!
The solvent based ones yellow though? Ive a new house all gloss paint and want to change to a good durable finish paint that doesnt yellow. I agree on the quick dry satinwood. I painted all my trims and bannisters in my old house and i managed to get a lovely finish, stayed bright white but it wasnt the toughest like you suggest. Even sitting a glass candle on a shelf painted with this sank into it.

You can get to choose different colours: like what I needed for a feature wall Plus 6% cash back on TopCashback Which had worked out at £3.25
If you do not need 5l of the same colour, then it is a good deal.
How is this a deal? 2x 2.5litres for £28….when a single 5litre tin is £26.

Cheers OP, Cracking deal!! Just ordered 4 of the easycare Calico as a more hardwaring alternative to Magnolia i usually paint the hall/stairs/landing with
Still a couple colours in stock
OOS
Never heard about the website. Anyone please share your experience?
Excellent price. Really like this Dulux Easycare paint.

Excellent colour, love it, bought 3 x 5L from B&Q to get few areas in the house painted.
Can you put this paint over existing silk paint?
Looks expired? £22 now
Thanks. Ordered Egyptian cotton. Great price. (y)
It's still cheaper to get it at b&q with 20% if you're after 5l

You really don't want to paint your projector.
Almond White or Barley White (Dulux)
I suppose Cookie Dough sounds better than IBS droppings (lol)
Isn't this the ultimate projector paint?
Cream? (lol) (lol) (lol)

Maybe title should be edited to all colours? Rather than just Denim Drift,
Not if you need 2 different colours
Cold... They sell the 5L tin for £32 so will work out cheaper

Maybe consider a good old fashioned acrylic eggshell if you are wanting to wipe frequently
Thanks I have returned this and bought the dulux diamond instead.
It's good paint but not really scrubbable like say a Dulux Easycare Kitchen or Dulux Diamond.
Is this paint definitely wipeable? I have picked it up today and can't see wipeable written on it anywhere? It mentions wipeable on the website description (specification) but not on the paint itself. Also, the paint shown in the picture on this post seems to be different to the one on wickes website? Pic attached for the one on a wickes website If this isn't wipeable are there any recommendations for one which is wipeable in a matt finish?
Seem to be some paint experts here so I'll pose a question if anyone can help. I am considering painting the majority of my house with dulux trade pure brilliant white. Was originally going with Silk but someone advised to stick with matt as rooms will be too "shiny". But key thing for me is wipe clean. Is that only possible on silk or can matt in this be wiped clean too? Cheers!

Good quality paint. Used this recently (different colour). Very thick, diluted with water - approx 10% water.
Brown is so out
Odd colour. Who wants a wall that looks the same colour as dry plaster.
Is it? Cheap!
Cookie dough...... Mmmmmm be licking the walls clean 😁

Can I paint my car with this?
Gutted it is only certain colours as I am after black and that is still £30😞
Ohh it's constant wind in there XD
Or no roof.
Depends what you’ve been eating then, I suppose (y)
That's the exact colour we use (Kitchen and staricase), I also have mixed it with white to do the top half of our front room (only 20% calico to 80% white) Think Wicked version is about £14 for anyone who missed out which is also very good Avoid B&Q own brand cos it's like water and does not adhere well (Johnson's too)
£21.43
Doesn't add to basket though...
