Desert Wind (1112524) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Desert Wind (1112524)

Desert Wind (1112524) is a warm orange shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Desert Wind

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

Building a Palette With Desert Wind

Planning colours across the home? Treat Desert Wind as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• 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: Desert Wind warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

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. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
