Paint Colour Contest

pointed out Dulux's habit of giving colours strange names... and also how inspiring they can be for stories!

To enter this contest, simply write a short story inspired by a paint colour. We've handpicked particular colours from Dulux's collections: Authentic Origins, Timeless Classics and Feature Walls. The collection title may inspire the tone for your piece, while the colour depicts the content... but you can take this in any direction!



There will be a first and second place, and yes, there will be prizes! And they are:

FIRST PLACE:
200 from
A sketch from of a character of your choice!

SECOND PLACE:
A drawing of a character of your choice from
from

And of course, both winner and runner-up receive much praise and admiration from us all!
