A garden that glows with happiness

Pure Joy^TM is an inspiring, yellow Dulux colour which creates cheerfulness and even excitement. Our brain’s happy positivity comes from visions like these. Radiant yellow provides an excellent contrast with green foliage, making it the most noticeable colour among flowers.

Painting exterior walls with this yellow hue from Dulux will provide an excellent backdrop for contrasting green foliage such as Strelitzia nicolii, Cordyline, Phormium, Philodendron, Cyachea australis (Tree Fern) etc. Even placing a dark-coloured garden feature or statue in front of such a yellow wall will accentuate their differences. Let us look at plants with either yellow foliage or flowers that one can easily introduce to the Namibian garden and should be easily available.

Imagine the year-round motivating and exuberant atmosphere one could create with yellow foliage and flowers in the garden. Life today can sometimes be rather sombre, but yellow splashes of colour can take care of that.
