Barely Green (1112278): Where and How to Use It

A cheerful lime green from Dulux, Barely Green (1112278) is a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Barely Green

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Kitchens and kids' rooms: lime brings a lively, energetic lift to busy spaces.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.

What Goes With Barely Green

For a whole-home look, use Barely Green as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Charcoal accents - to ground the zing.
• Soft teal - as a cool companion.
• Natural wood - for a relaxed, fresh feel.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Barely Green warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as lime green shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
