Wind Tick (1114328) - Dulux Paints Colour Shade Card

Your Guide to Wind Tick (1114328)

An intense blue from Dulux, Wind Tick (1114328) is a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. With its cool undertone, it looks most natural alongside cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Wind Tick

• Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
• Bathrooms and en-suites: blue brings a clean, fresh, spa-like feel to tiled rooms.
• Reading rooms and studies: a darker wrap makes these rooms feel snug and easy to focus in.
• The wall behind a bed: a deep shade on the headboard wall gives a calm, hotel-like feel.

Building a Palette With Wind Tick

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

• Mustard or tan accents - for a pop of warm contrast.
• Natural oak or walnut - to warm up the cool tone.
• Crisp white - on trims and ceilings, so the blue stays fresh.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Wind Tick 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

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as blue shifts with the light in a room. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
