Temptation (1111080): Where and How to Use It

A mellow warm red from Dulux, Temptation (1111080) is a flexible mid-tone that works on full walls or a single feature. With its warm undertone, it looks most natural alongside warm whites and natural timber.

Rooms That Suit Temptation

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Studies and workspaces: a steady, mid-depth wall is easy on the eye for long stints.
• Bedrooms: enough colour to feel cosy, still calm enough to relax in.
• A single feature wall: mid-tones add definition on one wall while staying versatile.

What Goes With Temptation

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

• Soft grey - for a calm, modern pairing.
• Brass or blush - to soften or lift the tone.
• Deep green or navy - for a confident contrast.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Temptation 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as warm red shifts with the light in a room. Over a tinted primer, a mid-tone builds to full colour in two coats.
