A clean bright orange
Dutch Orange is from our new Colour by Nature palette, created in collaboration with the Natural History Museum to bring the true colours of nature into your home.
Dutch Orange is a clean bright orange with the ability to enliven any space. With a dynamic quality that brings an enveloping warmth to rooms, it feels lively combined with Verdigris Green and Skimmed Milk White, and looks particularly stunning with a Duck Green trim.

Going Dutch
Arrived super fast and the sample tim was generous. You will have to do at least 5-6 coats to even out the colour as it’s a very strong block colour, but you won’t be disappointed with the results. I paired the colour with dulux fine cream which I had over from earlier decorating project and as I already had blue/ teal furniture I felt it was an excellent match to give a bright modern feel with dark wood shelving to contrast and a mocha carpet. (This was a full room renovation project). One person has taken the sample tin to purchase herself as she loves the colour ans two others of my contacts are in the process of purchasing after seeing my results.

The colour is exquisite just not in eggshell
I regularly use F&B in a variety of colours and finishes, but I have not been as pleased with this purchase as I have with my previous ones. I have craved this Dutch Orange in my life since I first saw it marketed a few months ago and decided to use it for a few features in my downstairs loo and pantry. It just hasn’t worked. The coverage isn’t great (it has taken four coats to cover a wooden door, and I still think it needs another), the depth of colour that comes across in the emulsion versions of the colour just isn’t there in the eggshell, and overall it’s just been a bit disappointing. I could have achieved this look with a cheaper brand.
