Shakespeare (1112169) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Shakespeare (1112169): Where and How to Use It

Shakespeare (1112169) is a mellow lime green 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 Shakespeare

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Kitchens and kids' rooms: lime brings a lively, energetic lift to busy spaces.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.

Building a Palette With Shakespeare

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

• Soft teal - as a cool companion.
• Natural wood - for a relaxed, fresh feel.
• Charcoal accents - to ground the zing.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Shakespeare 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - lime green can look different at noon and by lamplight. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
