Your Guide to Cordovan (1111820)

An inviting orange from Dulux, Cordovan (1111820) 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 Cordovan

  • 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.
  • Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.

What Goes With Cordovan

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

  • Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.
  • Natural wood and leather - to warm it further.
  • Charcoal - for a modern edge.

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: Cordovan 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

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.
