The Flow palette, made up of seashore tones, taps into the rhythms of the natural world – the seasons, the tides, the cycles of life – for a fluid, balanced feel. Research shows that creating a connection with nature can help enhance relaxation1 so these calm, natural colours can create an inviting scheme in a hospitality space.
To attract customers into their premises, hospitality businesses need to create warm, inviting spaces where people want to come together and relax.
The joyful colours in the Buzz palette, inspired by the bustling diversity of a wildflower field, are perfect for adding warmth and energy to a space. Combined with Dulux Professional Colour of the Year, Wild WonderTM, they can create the ideal setting for people to connect and collaborate.
These four colour schemes using Dulux Professional Colour of the Year, Wild WonderTM, and the Buzz and Flow palettes can bring value to hospitality buildings by creating environments where visitors want to get together and relax.

A joyful, harmonious space
