Phantom Blue (1114346): Where and How to Use It

Phantom Blue (1114346) is a dramatic blue shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Phantom Blue

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.

Building a Palette With Phantom Blue

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

• Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.
• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.

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: Phantom Blue 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - blue can look different at noon and by lamplight. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
