Capitol Blue (1111280) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Capitol Blue (1111280)

Capitol Blue (1111280) is a composed blue shade by Dulux - a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Rooms That Suit Capitol Blue

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• 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 Capitol Blue

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

• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Capitol Blue stays cool and steady in daylight, warming slightly under lamps in the evening.

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 blue shifts with the light in a room. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
