Melon Ice (1111150): Where and How to Use It

Melon Ice (1111150) is a light golden shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Melon Ice

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.

What Goes With Melon Ice

For a whole-home look, use Melon Ice as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Brass and amber - to play up the warmth.
• Deep brown or walnut - to ground the glow.
• Navy or forest green - for a rich contrast.

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: Melon Ice warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

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 - golden can look different at noon and by lamplight. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
