Moon Waves (1111689): Where and How to Use It
Moon Waves (1111689) is a cool blue shade by Dulux - a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.
Rooms That Suit Moon Waves
- Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
- Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
- Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.
- Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
Building a Palette With Moon Waves
Planning colours across the home? Treat Moon Waves as a flexible base or a feature and add:
- Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
- Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
- Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
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: Moon Waves 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
Check a tester patch morning and evening, as blue shifts with the light in a room. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
