Deep Waters (1111375) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Deep Waters (1111375)

A moody lime green from Dulux, Deep Waters (1111375) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its green undertone, it looks most natural alongside off-whites and natural textures.

Best Spaces for Deep Waters

• 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.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.

What Goes With Deep Waters

For a whole-home look, use Deep Waters as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Soft teal - as a cool companion.
• Natural wood - for a relaxed, fresh feel.
• Charcoal accents - to ground the zing.

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: Deep Waters 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - lime green can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
