Cognac Brandy (1111201) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Cognac Brandy (1111201)

Cognac Brandy (1111201) is a mellow golden 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 Cognac Brandy

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.

What Goes With Cognac Brandy

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

• Cream and off-white - to keep the warmth soft.
• Brass and amber - to play up the warmth.
• Deep brown or walnut - to ground the glow.

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: Cognac Brandy 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.

Worth Knowing

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as golden shifts with the light in a room. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
