Salsa (1114151) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Salsa (1114151): Where and How to Use It

Salsa (1114151) is an inviting 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 Salsa

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Dining rooms and feature walls: a rich red energises a room and makes a statement.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.

Building a Palette With Salsa

For a whole-home look, use Salsa as a flexible base or a feature and bring in:

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

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Salsa 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.

Worth Knowing

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as red shifts with the light in a room. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
