Soft Copper (1111823): Where and How to Use It

Soft Copper (1111823) is a warm 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.

Rooms That Suit Soft Copper

• 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.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.

What Goes With Soft Copper

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

• Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.
• Warm white and cream - to soften the intensity.
• Natural wood and leather - to warm it further.

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: Soft Copper 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 orange shifts with the light in a room. A tinted base plus two coats gives a clean, consistent wall.
