First Edition (1114323) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to First Edition (1114323)

A breezy blue from Dulux, First Edition (1114323) is a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. With its cool undertone, it looks most natural alongside cool whites and greys.

Rooms That Suit First Edition

• 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.
• 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 First Edition

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

• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.

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: First Edition 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

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