Gilt Edge (1111945) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Gilt Edge (1111945)

Gilt Edge (1111945) is a bold yellow shade by Dulux - a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Gilt Edge

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Breakfast rooms and kitchens: yellow keeps morning spaces bright and cheerful.
• 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.

Building a Palette With Gilt Edge

Planning colours across the home? Treat Gilt Edge as a flexible base or a feature and add:

• Pale wood - for a sunny, natural feel.
• White and soft grey - to keep it clean and bright.
• Soft blue or sage - as a cool balance.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Gilt Edge 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 yellow shifts with the light in a room. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
