Lights Out (1114449): Where and How to Use It

Lights Out (1114449) is a smoky cool neutral shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The soft cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Lights Out

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Open-plan and living spaces: a cool neutral is an easy, modern backdrop for any room.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.

What Goes With Lights Out

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

• Crisp white - for a clean, layered look.
• Soft blue or sage - for a hint of colour.
• Charcoal or black - for contrast on details.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Lights Out 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

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