Khaki Mists (1111490): Where and How to Use It

Khaki Mists (1111490) is a bold warm neutral shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Khaki Mists

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Whole-home walls and hallways: a warm neutral flows well between rooms and feels welcoming.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.

Building a Palette With Khaki Mists

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

• Muted green or blue - for a gentle colour lift.
• Deeper taupe or brown - as a grounding accent.
• White and ivory - for a soft, layered neutral.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Khaki Mists 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.

Before You Start

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