Andrea Lucena-Orr – Dulux 2023 Colour Trends

ACFA Industry ConferenceColour is one of the most transformational, and least expensive, renovation tools a homeowner has available to them.  It has the power to transform their home, and their life, by creating mood, atmosphere, and quality of living.  It can help solve bad design and enhance the great design.  It can visually alter our perception of a space.

Discover the 2023 Colour Trends with Andrea and let her help you understand colour and how to effectively utilise it – part art, part science.

Andrea Lucena-Orr has been working with colour for over twenty-five years at DuluxGroup executing colour training, trends and colour forecasting and presenting her findings to trade, retail and media – and her recommendations play an integral part in Dulux marketing strategies.
