Old Bronze (1111492): Where and How to Use It

A deep golden from Dulux, Old Bronze (1111492) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Old Bronze

  • Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
  • Dining and living rooms: gold adds a warm, rich glow to spaces made for gathering.
  • Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.
  • Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

Building a Palette With Old Bronze

For a whole-home look, use Old Bronze as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

  • Brass and amber - to play up the warmth.
  • Deep brown or walnut - to ground the glow.
  • Cream and off-white - to keep the warmth soft.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Old Bronze 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as golden shifts with the light in a room. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
