Your Guide to Sapphire (1111688)
Sapphire (1111688) is an intense 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.
Rooms That Suit Sapphire
- 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.
- Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.
- The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
Building a Palette With Sapphire
Planning colours across the home? Treat Sapphire as a feature against paler walls and add:
- Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
- Soft grey - for a calm, tonal scheme through the home.
- Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.
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: Sapphire 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.
Worth Knowing
Check a tester patch morning and evening, as blue shifts with the light in a room. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
