Opal Silk (1111358) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Opal Silk (1111358)

An airy green from Dulux, Opal Silk (1111358) is a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. With its green undertone, it looks most natural alongside off-whites and natural textures.

Rooms That Suit Opal Silk

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Studies and garden rooms: green links a room to the outdoors and helps you focus.
• 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.

Building a Palette With Opal Silk

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

• Terracotta or ochre - for an earthy, warm accent.
• Wood and rattan - to echo the outdoors.
• Off-white and cream - to keep it light and natural.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Opal Silk reflects light well and stays bright and even from morning to night.

Best finish: A matt finish looks smooth and modern in living rooms and bedrooms; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens, bathrooms and hallways.

Before You Start

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - green can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
