Black Sable (1114441): Where and How to Use It

Black Sable (1114441) is a deep cool neutral 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.

Rooms That Suit Black Sable

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Open-plan and living spaces: a cool neutral is an easy, modern backdrop for any room.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.

What Goes With Black Sable

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

• Crisp white - for a clean, layered look.
• Soft blue or sage - for a hint of colour.
• Warm wood - to stop it feeling cold.

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: Black Sable 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 - cool neutral can look different at noon and by lamplight. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
