Nights Edge (1111990) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Nights Edge (1111990)

Nights Edge (1111990) is a smoky blue shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Nights Edge

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.

What Goes With Nights Edge

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

• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.
• 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: Nights Edge 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
