Leaf Brown (1115417): Where and How to Use It

A bold orange from Dulux, Leaf Brown (1115417) 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.

Best Spaces for Leaf Brown

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.

Building a Palette With Leaf Brown

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

• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.
• Charcoal - for a modern edge.

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: Leaf Brown 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as orange shifts with the light in a room. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
