Peppermint Beach (1111342): Where and How to Use It

A deep green from Dulux, Peppermint Beach (1111342) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its cool undertone, it looks most natural alongside cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Peppermint Beach

• 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.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.

Building a Palette With Peppermint Beach

Planning colours across the home? Treat Peppermint Beach as a feature against paler walls and add:

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

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: Peppermint Beach 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - green can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
