Your Guide to Heat Wave (1112137)
Heat Wave (1112137) is a vivid orange 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 Heat Wave
- Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
- Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
- Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.
- A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.
Building a Palette With Heat Wave
Planning colours across the home? Treat Heat Wave as a flexible base or a feature and add:
- Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
- Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.
- Natural wood and leather - to warm it further.
Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.
Light and the Right Finish
In different light: Heat Wave 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.
Before You Start
Brush a tester onto your own walls first - orange can look different at noon and by lamplight. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
