Spice Tea (1112227) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Spice Tea (1112227)

Spice Tea (1112227) is a punchy 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 Spice Tea

• 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.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.

Building a Palette With Spice Tea

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

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

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Spice Tea 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

Brush a tester onto your own walls first - orange can look different at noon and by lamplight. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
