Exotic Bloom (1110923) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Exotic Bloom (1110923)

A muted red from Dulux, Exotic Bloom (1110923) is a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. With its balanced undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm or cool neutrals.

Best Spaces for Exotic Bloom

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Dining rooms and feature walls: a rich red energises a room and makes a statement.
• 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.

What Goes With Exotic Bloom

For a whole-home look, use Exotic Bloom as a flexible base or a feature and bring in:

• Warm white and cream - to give the eye somewhere to rest.
• Brass or blush - to soften or lift the tone.
• Soft grey - for a calm, modern pairing.

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: Exotic Bloom holds a steady tone through the day, with only small shifts as the light changes.

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 - red can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
