Candlelight (1111983) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Candlelight (1111983)

Candlelight (1111983) is a cheerful yellow shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Candlelight

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Breakfast rooms and kitchens: yellow keeps morning spaces bright and cheerful.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.

What Goes With Candlelight

Planning colours across the home? Treat Candlelight as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• White and soft grey - to keep it clean and bright.
• Soft blue or sage - as a cool balance.
• Pale wood - for a sunny, natural feel.

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: Candlelight warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - yellow can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
