Some Dulux colour names have changed

Dulux has recently undertaken a review of the colour names within the Dulux World of Colour Series II and Dulux Colours of New Zealand ranges. After careful review of 5,000 colours we have decided to modify a number of colour names to make them appropriate for all audiences and in some instances, update the spelling. Scroll down to see the Dulux colours that have changed.
