Bright Cherry (1111795) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Bright Cherry (1111795)

An inviting red from Dulux, Bright Cherry (1111795) is a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Bright Cherry

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Dining rooms and feature walls: a rich red energises a room and makes a statement.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.

Building a Palette With Bright Cherry

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

• Deep green or navy - for a confident contrast.
• Warm white and cream - to give the eye somewhere to rest.
• Soft grey - for a calm, modern pairing.

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: Bright Cherry richens under warm light and sun, and settles to an even tone in cooler, north light.

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 red shifts with the light in a room. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
