Loam (1114407) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Loam (1114407)

A deep warm neutral from Dulux, Loam (1114407) 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 Loam

• 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.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.

Building a Palette With Loam

For a whole-home look, use Loam as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Deeper taupe or brown - as a grounding accent.
• Muted green or blue - for a gentle colour lift.
• Natural oak and linen - to add warmth and texture.

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: Loam 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 warm neutral shifts with the light in a room. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
