Beyond Blue (1111996): Where and How to Use It

A calm blue from Dulux, Beyond Blue (1111996) is a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. With its cool undertone, it looks most natural alongside cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Beyond Blue

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.

What Goes With Beyond Blue

Planning colours across the home? Treat Beyond Blue as a flexible base or a feature and add:

• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.
• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• 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: Beyond Blue stays cool and steady in daylight, warming slightly under lamps in the evening.

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

Worth Knowing

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
