Cigar (1110890) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Cigar (1110890)

A dramatic golden from Dulux, Cigar (1110890) 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.

Best Spaces for Cigar

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Dining and living rooms: gold adds a warm, rich glow to spaces made for gathering.
• 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 Cigar

Planning colours across the home? Treat Cigar as a feature against paler walls and add:

• Navy or forest green - for a rich contrast.
• Deep brown or walnut - to ground the glow.
• Cream and off-white - to keep the warmth soft.

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: Cigar 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.

Worth Knowing

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as golden shifts with the light in a room. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
