Disney Home and Dulux have introduced 16 character-inspired shades in their Disney | Dulux Easycare collection, arranged as eight coordinated colour pairings. The paints are available at selected B&Q stores; prices and wider availability were not provided in the source report.
Disney Home and Dulux have launched a collection of 16 character-inspired paint shades, giving families eight coordinated colour pairings based on Disney, Pixar and Marvel properties. The paints are part of the Disney | Dulux Easycare wall and ceiling range and are available at selected B&Q stores, according to a report by MadeForMums.
The collection pairs a lead shade with a complementary colour, with options inspired by Tangled, Stitch, The Little Mermaid, Frozen, Winnie the Pooh and Toy Story, as well as Captain America and Spider-Man from Marvel. The pairings include Enchanted Dreams with Princess Blush for Tangled, Experiment 626 with Cosmic Rose for Stitch, Frosted Teal with Ice Braid for Frozen, and Web Slinger Red with Spider Silk for Spider-Man.
Other combinations are Mermaid Splash and Lavender Shell for The Little Mermaid; Hundred Acre Green and Honey Whisper for Winnie the Pooh; Infinity Green and Galactic Grey for Toy Story; and Super Hero Blue with Shield Grey for Captain America. The source report describes the shades as designed to coordinate, so buyers can use them together for a room scheme or apply one as an accent.
MadeForMums reports that the paints come in 2.5-litre tins for the softer pastel shades and 1.25-litre tins for deeper, more vivid colours. Dulux describes the Easycare paints as tough, washable and stain-resistant. The source does not list prices, exact colour specifications, or the B&Q branches stocking the collection.
Character Colours for Bedroom Makeovers
The launch offers a wall-paint option for families who want to reference a child’s favourite film or character without relying entirely on themed bedding, posters or other accessories. The paired shades also provide a ready-made colour combination, which may make it simpler to plan a coordinated room. That is a product feature, not evidence that the paints will suit every room or remain a child’s preference as they grow.
The collection sits between a practical home-decorating purchase and licensed entertainment merchandise. Dulux presents the washable finish as relevant to family homes, while the character associations give children a direct role in choosing colours. The report does not establish how durable the finish is under particular conditions or compare it with other paints.

What the Collection Includes
The news comes as parents consider how to balance a child’s interests with a bedroom design that can adapt over time. MadeForMums reports research commissioned by Dulux and conducted by OnePoll among 2,000 parents in the UK and Ireland with children aged 0 to 13. Nearly 60% said they thought their child would decorate differently if given complete creative freedom. That figure reflects parents’ views, not children’s own responses.
In the same survey, 37% of parents said children’s bedrooms are more stylish and design-led today than when they were growing up, while 31% wanted a room that felt playful without looking overly childish. Dulux Creative Director and Colour Expert Marianne Shillingford advised using softer shades as a backdrop and stronger colours in details or feature areas. Those comments are guidance attributed to Dulux, rather than independent findings about how colour affects children.
“Using colour doesn’t have to mean covering every wall in the brightest shade you can find.”
— Marianne Shillingford, Dulux Creative Director and Colour Expert
Prices and Store Availability
The source report does not provide prices, a full list of participating B&Q stores, or a web purchase link. It also does not state whether the collection will be sold through other retailers or whether additional character ranges are planned. Families should check with B&Q or Dulux for current stock and product details before making a purchase.
The report identifies the products as wall and ceiling paints but does not give further technical information, such as the full colour range’s finish options or application instructions. The OnePoll figures are attributed to research commissioned by Dulux; the report does not provide the survey questions, fieldwork dates or a margin of error.
Check Local Stock Before Buying
The collection is described as available now at selected B&Q stores, so the next practical step for interested shoppers is to check local availability and current prices with the retailer. Dulux’s product information can help clarify which shades come in each tin size and whether the chosen pairing is suitable for the intended walls or details.
No further rollout, promotional event or additional product announcement is confirmed in the source report. The available information may change as retailers update stock listings; readers should rely on current retailer information for availability.
