Kessys Bark (1110891) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Kessys Bark (1110891)

An intense golden from Dulux, Kessys Bark (1110891) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Kessys Bark

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Dining and living rooms: gold adds a warm, rich glow to spaces made for gathering.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

What Goes With Kessys Bark

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

• Deep brown or walnut - to ground the glow.
• Navy or forest green - for a rich contrast.
• 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: Kessys Bark 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 - golden can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
