Classic (1114512): Where and How to Use It

Classic (1114512) is a fresh teal shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The green undertone means it settles best next to off-whites and natural textures.

Best Spaces for Classic

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Kitchens and bathrooms: teal reads crisp and lively against white tiles and wood.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

Building a Palette With Classic

For a whole-home look, use Classic as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Warm white - to keep it clean and bright.
• Pale wood and rattan - for a relaxed, natural feel.
• Brass or gold fittings - to lift the cool tone.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Classic reflects light well and stays bright and even from morning to night.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Worth Knowing

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as teal shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
