Sapling (1111860) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Sapling (1111860)

Sapling (1111860) is a bold yellow 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.

Rooms That Suit Sapling

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Breakfast rooms and kitchens: yellow keeps morning spaces bright and cheerful.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.

Building a Palette With Sapling

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

• Pale wood - for a sunny, natural feel.
• White and soft grey - to keep it clean and bright.
• Soft blue or sage - as a cool balance.

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