Aristocratic (1110964) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Aristocratic (1110964)

Aristocratic (1110964) is a breezy blue shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Rooms That Suit Aristocratic

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.

Building a Palette With Aristocratic

Planning colours across the home? Treat Aristocratic as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.
• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.

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: Aristocratic keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Start

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
