Blue Hydrangea (1112031): Where and How to Use It

A crisp blue from Dulux, Blue Hydrangea (1112031) is a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. With its cool undertone, it looks most natural alongside cool whites and greys.

Rooms That Suit Blue Hydrangea

• 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.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

Building a Palette With Blue Hydrangea

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

• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• 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 Hydrangea 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as blue shifts with the light in a room. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
