Garnish (1114270): Where and How to Use It

A bold lime green from Dulux, Garnish (1114270) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Garnish

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Kitchens and kids' rooms: lime brings a lively, energetic lift to busy spaces.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.

Building a Palette With Garnish

For a whole-home look, use Garnish as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• White and pale grey - to balance the brightness.
• Natural wood - for a relaxed, fresh feel.
• Soft teal - as a cool companion.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Garnish shows its depth in good light but can flatten in a dim room, so keep it where light is strong.

Best finish: A flat matt finish shows it at its richest and suits feature walls; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens and bathrooms.

Before You Start

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as lime green shifts with the light in a room. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
