A feast of colour

My palette evokes a sense of my heritage,' says chef, restaurateur, food writer and Dulux tastemaker Ravinder Bhogal when asked about her colour choices. The palette conjures my family home in Kenya and the maternal kitchens I grew up in and also the sumptuous ingredients I love to use - from pomegranates to saffron and pistachios.' That's the beauty of the Dulux Heritage range - the colours in the 112-shade strong collection are beautifully emotive. They are formulated with the finest ingredients to give you an easy-to-apply, perfectly smooth finish that has a sumptuous, velvety-to-the touch feel. All of the colours - from pale to dark tones - are an absolute pull on the senses, transporting you to memories of the past and evoking feelings in the present. They are visually gorgeous and totally tantalising. For Ravinder, it's her love of food and her family heritage that has inspired her colour choices - turn over to get into for your palette and to find out more about the Dulux Heritage Evoke Your Senses series.

The Dulux Heritage colours Ravinder chose are Coral Pink (main walls), Veranda Green (accent wall) and Potters Pink (fireplace)

Ravinder's scheme is rich and luxuriant
