Old Flame (1114172) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Old Flame (1114172)

Old Flame (1114172) is an inviting orange 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.

Best Spaces for Old Flame

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• 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.

Building a Palette With Old Flame

Planning colours across the home? Treat Old Flame as a flexible base or a feature and add:

• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• Charcoal - for a modern edge.
• Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Old Flame 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 orange shifts with the light in a room. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
