Crested Moss (1112158) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Crested Moss (1112158)

An intense lime green from Dulux, Crested Moss (1112158) 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 Crested Moss

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Kitchens and kids' rooms: lime brings a lively, energetic lift to busy spaces.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.

Building a Palette With Crested Moss

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

• Natural wood - for a relaxed, fresh feel.
• Soft teal - as a cool companion.
• White and pale grey - to balance the brightness.

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: Crested Moss 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.

Before You Start

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