Your Guide to Ohara (1111181)

Ohara (1111181) is a punchy red shade by Dulux - a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Ohara

  • Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
  • Dining rooms and feature walls: a rich red energises a room and makes a statement.
  • Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
  • Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.

What Goes With Ohara

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

  • Brass or blush - to soften or lift the tone.
  • Deep green or navy - for a confident contrast.
  • Soft grey - for a calm, modern pairing.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Ohara richens under warm light and sun, and settles to an even tone in cooler, north light.

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 red shifts with the light in a room. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
