Blue Surf (1111301): Where and How to Use It

Blue Surf (1111301) is a cool 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 Surf

• 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.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

Building a Palette With Blue Surf

For a whole-home look, use Blue Surf as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Blue Surf 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.

Worth Knowing

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.
