Evening Shadow (1111283) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Evening Shadow (1111283)

A composed cool neutral from Dulux, Evening Shadow (1111283) is a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. With its soft cool undertone, it looks most natural alongside cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Evening Shadow

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.

Building a Palette With Evening Shadow

Planning colours across the home? Treat Evening Shadow as a flexible base or a feature and add:

• Charcoal or black - for contrast on details.
• Crisp white - for a clean, layered look.
• Warm wood - to stop it feeling cold.

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: Evening Shadow stays cool and steady in daylight, warming slightly under lamps in the evening.

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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - cool neutral can look different at noon and by lamplight. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
