Huckleberry (1111989) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Huckleberry (1111989)

Huckleberry (1111989) is a deep blue shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Rooms That Suit Huckleberry

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

Building a Palette With Huckleberry

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

• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Huckleberry 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.

Worth Knowing

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
