Image Blue (1111690): Where and How to Use It

Image Blue (1111690) is a calm blue shade by Dulux - a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Image Blue

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.

Building a Palette With Image Blue

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

• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Image Blue stays cool and steady in daylight, warming slightly under lamps in the evening.

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 - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
