Light Grey (1114517) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Light Grey (1114517)

A muted cool neutral from Dulux, Light Grey (1114517) is a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. With its balanced undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm or cool neutrals.

Best Spaces for Light Grey

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.

What Goes With Light Grey

For a whole-home look, use Light Grey as a flexible base or a feature and bring in:

• Warm wood - to stop it feeling cold.
• Charcoal or black - for contrast on details.
• Soft blue or sage - for a hint of colour.

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: Light Grey holds a steady tone through the day, with only small shifts as the light changes.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Start

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as cool neutral shifts with the light in a room. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
