Ethereal (1112330) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Ethereal (1112330)

Ethereal (1112330) is a breezy cool neutral 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.

Best Spaces for Ethereal

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.

Building a Palette With Ethereal

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

• Soft blue or sage - for a hint of colour.
• Warm wood - to stop it feeling cold.
• Charcoal or black - for contrast on details.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Ethereal 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.

Before You Start

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as cool neutral shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
