Opal (1111541): Where and How to Use It

Opal (1111541) is a sunny off-white shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Opal

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Ceilings, trims and small rooms: an off-white keeps everything bright, clean and airy.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.

Building a Palette With Opal

Planning colours across the home? Treat Opal as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• Black accents - for a crisp, modern edge.
• Almost any accent colour - since white sets off everything.
• Soft grey and greige - for a little subtle depth.

A shared accent between two rooms is an easy way to make the whole home feel considered.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Opal warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

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 - off-white can look different at noon and by lamplight. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
