Brave Ground is Dulux colour of the year. I have read lots of contrasting opinions about this neutral tone, some for it, some against. I love colour as you can tell from my designs but I am also a fan of the neutral and this beautiful colour. I confess, I have a lot of neutral around my own home! Many may say “too bland” but I say calming and earthy. When painting my space or choosing for a client, I always think, how long can I / they live with this colour? You need to be able to live easily with a colour, maybe for a while (unless you are a serial sprucer upper!) Dress this lovely neutral up with some rich jewel tones for contrast, as in this sofa, in my design below, using Brave Ground as a back drop. Bring in other tones of this earthy colour to tie up the scheme, pops of earthy greens in the prints will be a great contrast against this colour. I’m sticking with it until proven wrong!
