Soft Shadow (1111096): Where and How to Use It

Soft Shadow (1111096) is a cheerful pink shade by Dulux - a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. The warm undertone means it settles best next to warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Soft Shadow

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Bedrooms and dressing rooms: a soft pink feels gentle, warm and flattering.
• Narrow hallways and box rooms: light colours push the walls out and add a sense of space.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.

Building a Palette With Soft Shadow

Planning colours across the home? Treat Soft Shadow as a base to build the rest of the palette on and add:

• Warm white and cream - to give the eye somewhere to rest.
• Deep green or navy - for a confident contrast.
• Brass or blush - to soften or lift the tone.

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 Shadow warms up under lamps and afternoon sun, and stays soft and light in north-facing rooms.

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 - pink can look different at noon and by lamplight. Pale tones cover easily; just keep a little paint back for scuffs in busy spots.
