AkzoNobel has launched a new TVC for its flagship decorative coatings brand, Dulux. In keeping with Dulux’s international theme of ‘Lets Colour’, the India TVC brings alive the ethos of ‘Apne Rang Chhalakne Do’ and is centered around the concept of how each individual has a unique identity which is reflected through the person’s choice of colour.

AkzoNobel has launched a new television commercial for its flagship decorative coatings brand, Dulux. In keeping with Dulux’s international theme of ‘Lets Colour’, the India TVC brings alive the ethos of ‘Apne Rang Chhalakne Do’. The TVC is centered around the concept of how each individual has a unique identity which is reflected through the person’s choice of colour.
Moving forward, the brand aspires to expand its presence and anchor itself in the lives of its consumers by nurturing a strong emotional connect with colour. This promise is encapsulated in the new brand tagline: ‘Dulux, Apne Rang Chhalakne Do’ that urges people to express themselves.
The ‘Apne Rang Chhalakne Do’ TVC brings together actors Shahid Kapoor and Boman Irani for the first time. Shahid embodies a lot of youthfulness and charm, while Boman helps add energy and exuberance to the entertaining TVC.
Dulux will support the new campaign by a 360 degree activation, including print, digital, outdoor and radio. The TVC goes on-air on September 18, 2011 and will be aired on 41 television channels across India.
Commenting on the new campaign, Mrinal Mathur, Marketing Manager, Dulux, said, “At Dulux we firmly believe that colour has the power to change people’s lives. Through our new campaign, ‘Apne Rang Chhalakne Do’ we have tried to show how Dulux as a brand brings out the uniqueness in every individual. It is a celebration of the expression of individuality, and how paints from Dulux help that individuality to blossom. Dulux is a leading colour authority and all are endeavours will be to enliven the firmament of Dulux’s global thinking of ‘Lets Colour’.The concept of the TVC and its actors perfectly embody the qualities that Dulux epitomizes. And, the TVC keynotes on how colour inspires and transpires spaces and moods.”
Crafted by McCann Erickson and directed by Shoojit Sircar of Rising Sun Films, the TVC takes a slice of life approach, bringing out the expressive nature of paint.
The TVC opens with Shahid and his girlfriend entering the girl’s house, only to find the girl’s angry dad, Boman seething at them. Boman, who is seen to be overseeing the painting in his house, suddenly doesn’t like the red being painted on his walls. For Boman, the paint on the wall reflects his state of mind and it becomes ‘Rascal Red’. As the TVC progresses, Shahid help Boman recover from a sudden cramp and the “red” becomes soothing again.
Talking about the new TVC, Executive Creative Director, McCann Erickson India, Prasoon Joshi, says, “Dulux was seeking a stronger association with colour. Seemingly simple, but it was imperative to weave the communication around a reality that resonated with the universal audiences. The insight that identities of people are formed through the different shades of their personalities formed the keystone to this endeavour. And, celebrities provided the possibility of role play and giving various dimensions to this thought. The communication showcases this multiplicity of personalities, and McCann’s integrated approach provides the springboard for this idea to come to life. Our ultimate goal is to transform Dulux into a colour authority.”
