Brown Bag (1111115): Where and How to Use It

An inviting warm neutral from Dulux, Brown Bag (1111115) 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 Brown Bag

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Whole-home walls and hallways: a warm neutral flows well between rooms and feels welcoming.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.

Building a Palette With Brown Bag

Planning colours across the home? Treat Brown Bag as a flexible base or a feature and add:

• Deeper taupe or brown - as a grounding accent.
• Muted green or blue - for a gentle colour lift.
• Natural oak and linen - to add warmth and texture.

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: Brown Bag 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.

Worth Knowing

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - warm neutral can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
