Executive (1112116) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Executive (1112116)

A sunny pink from Dulux, Executive (1112116) 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 Executive

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bedrooms and dressing rooms: a soft pink feels gentle, warm and flattering.
• 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.

What Goes With Executive

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

• Deep green or navy - for a confident contrast.
• Warm white and cream - to give the eye somewhere to rest.
• Brass or blush - to soften or lift the tone.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Executive 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.

Before You Start

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - pink can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
