Blue Jay (1112021) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Blue Jay (1112021)

A composed blue from Dulux, Blue Jay (1112021) 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.

Rooms That Suit Blue Jay

• 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.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.

Building a Palette With Blue Jay

For a whole-home look, use Blue Jay as a flexible base or a feature and bring in:

• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• 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 Jay 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. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
