Pale Shadow (1114494) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Pale Shadow (1114494)

A sunny off-white from Dulux, Pale Shadow (1114494) is a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Pale Shadow

• 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.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.

Building a Palette With Pale Shadow

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

• Soft grey and greige - for a little subtle depth.
• Almost any accent colour - since white sets off everything.
• Natural wood - to add warmth.

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: Pale Shadow 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as off-white shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
