Ocean Ripple (1112531): Where and How to Use It

Ocean Ripple (1112531) is a fresh teal shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Ocean Ripple

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Kitchens and bathrooms: teal reads crisp and lively against white tiles and wood.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.
• Bedrooms: pale walls feel restful and make mornings a little easier.

What Goes With Ocean Ripple

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

• Coral or terracotta - as a warm accent.
• Brass or gold fittings - to lift the cool tone.
• Pale wood and rattan - for a relaxed, natural feel.

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: Ocean Ripple keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

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 second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
