Blue Chip (1111903) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Blue Chip (1111903)

Blue Chip (1111903) is an intense blue 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 Blue Chip

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

Building a Palette With Blue Chip

For a whole-home look, use Blue Chip as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.
• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.

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: Blue Chip 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 - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
