Copper Penny (1112438): Where and How to Use It

A mellow orange from Dulux, Copper Penny (1112438) is a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Copper Penny

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.

What Goes With Copper Penny

Planning colours across the home? Treat Copper Penny as a flexible base or a feature and add:

• Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.
• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• Charcoal - for a modern edge.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Copper Penny 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.

Before You Start

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - orange can look different at noon and by lamplight. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
