Olympic Bronze (1111186): Where and How to Use It

Olympic Bronze (1111186) is a deep warm neutral shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Olympic Bronze

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Whole-home walls and hallways: a warm neutral flows well between rooms and feels welcoming.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.

What Goes With Olympic Bronze

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

• Natural oak and linen - to add warmth and texture.
• White and ivory - for a soft, layered neutral.
• Muted green or blue - for a gentle colour lift.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Olympic 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.

Worth Knowing

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