Ivory Silk (1111618) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Ivory Silk (1111618)

Ivory Silk (1111618) is a sunny golden shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Ivory Silk

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.

What Goes With Ivory Silk

For a whole-home look, use Ivory Silk as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Brass and amber - to play up the warmth.
• Deep brown or walnut - to ground the glow.
• Cream and off-white - to keep the warmth soft.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Ivory Silk warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as golden shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
