Inkberry (1112197): Where and How to Use It

An intense violet from Dulux, Inkberry (1112197) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its balanced undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm or cool neutrals.

Rooms That Suit Inkberry

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Bedrooms and quiet corners: violet suits restful, slightly indulgent spaces.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.

What Goes With Inkberry

Planning colours across the home? Treat Inkberry as a feature against paler walls and add:

• Pale timber - to soften the depth.
• Blush or mauve - for a gentle, tonal pairing.
• Silver or chrome - for a cool, refined accent.

A shared accent between two rooms is an easy way to make the whole home feel considered.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Inkberry 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 - violet can look different at noon and by lamplight. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
