Your Guide to Dramatic Coral (1112141)

A light orange from Dulux, Dramatic Coral (1112141) is a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Dramatic Coral

• 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 Dramatic Coral

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

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

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Dramatic Coral 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as orange shifts with the light in a room. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
