Othello (1111620): Where and How to Use It

Othello (1111620) is a dramatic green shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The green undertone means it settles best next to off-whites and natural textures.

Rooms That Suit Othello

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Studies and garden rooms: green links a room to the outdoors and helps you focus.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.

What Goes With Othello

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

• Wood and rattan - to echo the outdoors.
• Terracotta or ochre - for an earthy, warm accent.
• 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: Othello 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 green shifts with the light in a room. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
