Renowned illustrators Annu Kilpelainen, Adrian Johnson and Emily Forgot have collaborated with Dulux on the ‘Colour Britain’ project to celebrate interesting stories of history, heritage, colour and culture. Residents from seven cities were polled to discover their favourite sights, stories and colours, which formed the inspiration for seven unique pieces of artwork.

It's great to see yet another big brand collaborate with creatives to produce something unique and interesting. Scroll through the images to watch some videos about the project below.
