Dusky Lilac (1111678): Where and How to Use It

Dusky Lilac (1111678) is a fresh blue shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Rooms That Suit Dusky Lilac

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.

What Goes With Dusky Lilac

For a whole-home look, use Dusky Lilac as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.

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: Dusky Lilac keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

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 - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
