Winter Squash (1111118): Where and How to Use It

Winter Squash (1111118) is a punchy golden 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 Winter Squash

• Living rooms: a mid-tone adds warmth and personality without taking over.
• Dining rooms: a grounded tone makes meals feel warm and settled.
• 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.

What Goes With Winter Squash

For a whole-home look, use Winter Squash as a flexible base or a feature and bring in:

• Brass and amber - to play up the warmth.
• Cream and off-white - to keep the warmth soft.
• Deep brown or walnut - to ground the glow.

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

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Winter Squash 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.

Before You Start

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