Southern Shadow (1114493) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Southern Shadow (1114493)

A warm off-white from Dulux, Southern Shadow (1114493) is a light, easy shade that suits full walls across the home. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Southern Shadow

• Living and family rooms: a light shade keeps everyday spaces bright and sociable.
• Ceilings, trims and small rooms: an off-white keeps everything bright, clean and airy.
• Kitchens and dining areas: a fresh, clean tone suits spaces where you cook and eat.
• Study and work corners: an even, bright wall keeps a workspace feeling open.

Building a Palette With Southern Shadow

For a whole-home look, use Southern Shadow as a base to build the rest of the palette on and bring in:

• Almost any accent colour - since white sets off everything.
• Black accents - for a crisp, modern edge.
• Soft grey and greige - for a little subtle depth.

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 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.

Worth Knowing

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as off-white shifts with the light in a room. A second thin coat evens it out, and a leftover tin handles later marks.
