Freshen Up (1112173) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Freshen Up (1112173)

A bold lime green from Dulux, Freshen Up (1112173) is a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Freshen Up

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Kitchens and kids' rooms: lime brings a lively, energetic lift to busy spaces.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.

What Goes With Freshen Up

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

• Soft teal - as a cool companion.
• Charcoal accents - to ground the zing.
• White and pale grey - to balance the brightness.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Freshen Up richens under warm light and sun, and settles to an even tone in cooler, north light.

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 lime green shifts with the light in a room. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
