Life’s too short to spend hours finding the right paint colour for your decorating project. If you see a shade you like in a Houzz photo – be it on a wall, a piece of furniture, or anywhere on the photograph – there’s a quick and easy way to find the closest Taubmans or Dulux colour to match and then buy at your local Bunnings.

Up to five hot spots, marked as + signs, will appear on the photo you are looking at. These hot spots can all be dragged around the photo and whatever they land on, they will identify the closest matching Dulux or Taubmans paint colour for you.

These five colours will also appear as a list on the right hand side of the photo. Here you can click on an individual colour to go through to the Dulux or Taubmans page on the Bunnings website for more information.

And, you can save the paint palette to your ideabook, to use as a reference during your home improvement project… and share on social media.

The Colour Picker can be used on any colour you like, on any photo. Just be aware that it suggests matching Dulux and Taubmans shades – it doesn’t mean that those brand of paints were used in the project pictured.

So seize the day and enjoy using the Colour Picker. It’s easy, fast and fun, and can save you hours of time during your new build, renovation or home refresh project.
