Brown Study (1114195) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Brown Study (1114195)

A bold orange from Dulux, Brown Study (1114195) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Brown Study

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.

Building a Palette With Brown Study

For a whole-home look, use Brown Study as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Natural wood and leather - to warm it further.
• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• Charcoal - for a modern edge.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Brown Study shows its depth in good light but can flatten in a dim room, so keep it where light is strong.

Best finish: A flat matt finish shows it at its richest and suits feature walls; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens and bathrooms.

Before You Start

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - orange can look different at noon and by lamplight. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
