Blue Collar (1110945): Where and How to Use It

Blue Collar (1110945) is a fresh blue shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Blue Collar

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.

Building a Palette With Blue Collar

Planning colours across the home? Treat Blue Collar as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Blue Collar keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
