Hot Pepper (1112196): Where and How to Use It

Hot Pepper (1112196) is a vivid lime green 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 Hot Pepper

• 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.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.

Building a Palette With Hot Pepper

For a whole-home look, use Hot Pepper as a flexible base or a feature 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: Hot Pepper 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - lime green can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
