Southern Pine (1112350): Where and How to Use It

Southern Pine (1112350) is a deep green shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The green undertone means it settles best next to off-whites and natural textures.

Rooms That Suit Southern Pine

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Studies and garden rooms: green links a room to the outdoors and helps you focus.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.
• Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.

What Goes With Southern Pine

For a whole-home look, use Southern Pine as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

• Wood and rattan - to echo the outdoors.
• Off-white and cream - to keep it light and natural.
• Terracotta or ochre - for an earthy, warm accent.

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: Southern Pine 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - green can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
