Tinder Box (1111819) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Tinder Box (1111819)

A dramatic orange from Dulux, Tinder Box (1111819) 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 Tinder Box

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Dining rooms and hallways: orange brings warmth and energy to social, busy spots.
• Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.

What Goes With Tinder Box

Planning colours across the home? Treat Tinder Box as a feature against paler walls and add:

• Natural wood and leather - to warm it further.
• Teal or petrol blue - for a striking contrast.
• Charcoal - for a modern edge.

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: Tinder Box 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.

Before You Start

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as orange shifts with the light in a room. A tinted primer and a second coat keep the depth even, with no patchiness.
