Calico (1112136): Where and How to Use It

Calico (1112136) is a bold orange shade by Dulux - a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Calico

  • Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
  • Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
  • Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
  • A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.

Building a Palette With Calico

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

  • Charcoal - for a modern edge.
  • Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.
  • Natural wood and leather - to warm it further.

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