Rubystone (1111799): Where and How to Use It

Rubystone (1111799) is a warm warm red shade by Dulux - a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Best Spaces for Rubystone

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.

Building a Palette With Rubystone

Planning colours across the home? Treat Rubystone as a flexible base or a feature and add:

• Brass or blush - to soften or lift the tone.
• Soft grey - for a calm, modern pairing.
• Warm white and cream - to give the eye somewhere to rest.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Rubystone richens under warm light and sun, and settles to an even tone in cooler, north light.

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 warm red shifts with the light in a room. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
