Skyrocket Red (1111466): Where and How to Use It

Skyrocket Red (1111466) is a bold orange 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 Skyrocket Red

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.

What Goes With Skyrocket Red

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

• Charcoal - for a modern edge.
• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.

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: Skyrocket Red 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

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