In the heart of Dublin, near the sprawling beauty of the Phoenix Park, Europe’s longest bar – the iconic “Hole in the Wall”- has embarked on a transformative journey. This historic establishment, with its rich tapestry of stories, has decided to embrace change. And what better way to do so than by partnering with one of Ireland’s most trusted and durable exterior paints, Dulux Weathershield.

The chosen hue? “Phoenix Park” a deep green that pays homage to its leafy surroundings. But this isn’t just any green – it’s a bold statement, a departure from the ordinary. As trends shift towards deeper colours for exterior finishes, the Hole in the Wall has embraced this trend with open arms.
To add contrast to the deep Phoenix Park green, a lighter shade of green “Barley Cove” covers the upper part of the pub’s façade. Together, Phoenix Park and Barley Cove create a harmonious symphony of colour, and the use of the black grey RAL 7021 on the windows and plinth, perfectly grounds the scheme.
Why did this establishment choose Dulux Weathershield for this makeover? It’s simple: the paint quality and aesthetics. Located on a busy road, the durability of the paint was important to the establishment, to ensure this transformation would stand the test of time. Dulux Weathershield’s commitment to superior coverage and a stunning colour collection aligns seamlessly with the Hole in the Wall’s vision. The Weathershield bespoke range for colour mixing was meticulously crafted with Irish weather and light in mind. The range of 37 on-trend colours can be found in the latest Weathershield Colour and Product Guide.
So, raise your glass to this partnership – a fusion of heritage and innovation. The Hole in the Wall, with its centuries-old charm, now wears a coat of modernity, thanks to Dulux Weathershield.
