Folk Tale (1111351) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Folk Tale (1111351)

Folk Tale (1111351) is a calm green shade by Dulux - a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Rooms That Suit Folk Tale

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Studies and garden rooms: green links a room to the outdoors and helps you focus.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.

What Goes With Folk Tale

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

• Black or brass details - to sharpen the look.
• Wood and rattan - to echo the outdoors.
• Off-white and cream - to keep it light and natural.

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: Folk Tale 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.

Worth Knowing

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as green shifts with the light in a room. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
