A good colour scheme balances wall, trim and feature colours. Lighter walls with a contrasting trim and a bold front door is a proven starting point for most Australian homes. Use our designer to experiment freely.

Our free house colour designer lets you test wall, trim, ceiling and door colour combinations using the full Dulux palette — before committing to a single drop of paint.

Colour Scheme Tips
Start with neutrals on the walls
Light neutrals are the safest base. They're flexible, timeless and make spaces feel larger. You can add bolder accents elsewhere.
White or off-white trim works with almost anything
Trim in Vivid White or Natural White creates clean definition and suits nearly every wall colour combination.
Use the door for a bold statement
The front door is a low-risk spot to try a darker or bolder colour — it adds character without overwhelming the rest of the house.
Check colours in different lighting
Colours shift dramatically between morning sunlight, overcast days and interior lighting. Always test a sample chip in your actual space.
