Operated by AkzoNobel. United Kingdom.
A name, plus a colour code drawn from a hue/lightness/saturation notation for the mixing system. Retail tins and trade mixing use different identifiers for what is often the same colour.
Colourwise holds no Dulux colour data — no names, no codes, no digital values, no LRVs. The clearest refusal of the twelve. AkzoNobel's legal notices prohibit automated extraction for commercial purposes by name, require written agreement for any exception, reserve database rights explicitly, and separately forbid reproduction or distribution of site content for any commercial purpose. There is no reading of these terms under which Colourwise may ingest the Dulux catalogue.
For any actual colour value, go to Dulux’s own site, which is where the authoritative and current version lives.
Range names only. The colours within them are not reproduced here.
Two separate columns on purpose. A value being visible on a public page says nothing about whether it may be republished — that is what the terms of use decide, and here they say no.

Disallows some broken colour-detail URL shapes and search/login paths; colour pages are otherwise crawlable. Irrelevant to reuse, which the terms govern.
Reviewed 2026-08-22. robots.txt governs crawling, not reuse.
"You are not permitted to use, or cause others to use, any automated system or software to extract content or data from our Site for commercial purposes except in cases where you or any applicable third party has entered into a written agreement with us that expressly permits such activity." The same terms reserve "all copyrights, database rights, trade names and trademarks".
The written agreement the terms themselves describe. AkzoNobel has a defined route for this, which makes a permission request the correct next step rather than a long shot.
