Reading Room (1111302) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Reading Room (1111302)

Reading Room (1111302) is a crisp blue shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Reading Room

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• 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.

What Goes With Reading Room

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

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

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Reading Room keeps its crisp, cool look in daylight and turns a little softer under warm bulbs.

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