Spanish Moss (1114478) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Spanish Moss (1114478)

A smoky cool neutral from Dulux, Spanish Moss (1114478) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Spanish Moss

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Open-plan and living spaces: a cool neutral is an easy, modern backdrop for any room.
• 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 Spanish Moss

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

• Charcoal or black - for contrast on details.
• Soft blue or sage - for a hint of colour.
• Crisp white - for a clean, layered look.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Spanish Moss 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 - cool neutral can look different at noon and by lamplight. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
