Artisan (1111314) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Artisan (1111314)

Artisan (1111314) is a bold teal shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Artisan

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Kitchens and bathrooms: teal reads crisp and lively against white tiles and wood.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

Building a Palette With Artisan

Planning colours across the home? Treat Artisan as a feature against paler walls and add:

• Coral or terracotta - as a warm accent.
• Brass or gold fittings - to lift the cool tone.
• Warm white - to keep it clean and bright.

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: Artisan 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.

Worth Knowing

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