Algonquin Red (1111461) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Algonquin Red (1111461)

A dramatic orange from Dulux, Algonquin Red (1111461) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Algonquin Red

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.

What Goes With Algonquin Red

For a whole-home look, use Algonquin Red as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Natural wood and leather - to warm it further.
• Charcoal - for a modern edge.
• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.

A shared accent between two rooms is an easy way to make the whole home feel considered.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Algonquin Red shows its depth in good light but can flatten in a dim room, so keep it where light is strong.

Best finish: A flat matt finish shows it at its richest and suits feature walls; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens and bathrooms.

Before You Start

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - orange can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
