Maria (1114302) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Maria (1114302)

A cool teal from Dulux, Maria (1114302) is a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. With its cool undertone, it looks most natural alongside cool whites and greys.

Rooms That Suit Maria

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Kitchens and bathrooms: teal reads crisp and lively against white tiles and wood.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.

Building a Palette With Maria

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

• Brass or gold fittings - to lift the cool tone.
• Pale wood and rattan - for a relaxed, natural feel.
• Warm white - to keep it clean and bright.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Maria stays cool and steady in daylight, warming slightly under lamps in the evening.

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

Worth Knowing

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - teal can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
