Tonal Combinations

Denim Drift has warm blue undertones which means it pairs well with other tonal combinations.

Both Breton Blue and First Dawn are beautiful, yellow tones shades that work in harmony with Denim Drift. These colours could be incorporated into a room with zonal sections, painted furniture, or they could be the subject in another room. Breton Blue provides a great defining accent in a room.

Neutral Combinations

As it’s such a highly versatile neutral colour, it also goes well with other neutral shades including Sapphire Splendour and Misty Mirror.

These colour combinations are perfect for a minimal or modern style decor scheme. Misty Mirror is a beautiful pale grey shade whilst Sapphire Splendour helps to ground it and define the space. This shade could work effectively on doors, skirting and architraves to add definition to the room.

Designer’s Choice Combinations

Whilst I personally think neutrals and tonal colours are the best pairings for Denim Drift, Dulux recommend a couple of daring orange shades as a match.

Moroccan Flame is a sunburst orange, adding vivacity and warmth to a room, whilst Apricot Crush is a much softer, almost peach shade. A great colour if you want to create a coastal inspired room.

Denim Drift & Black

If you’re creating a modern looking interior decor scheme, incorporating black is a perfect choice. A black accent is a defining characteristic of modern design, and it provides a defining and grounding accent against the neutrality of Denim Drift.

Black should be used sparingly with interior hardware details such as door handles, small pieces of furniture like console tables or side tables, and as an accent on decor accessories such as prints.

Denim Drift & White

An off-white is a great pairing for Denim Drift because it’s on the same neutral spectrum, however, if you want to really lift things and provide a stark contrast, bright white is a great choice.

If you’re using Denim Drift on the walls, lift the room by painting the ceiling and skirtings with a bright white paint. The contrast from the walls to the ceiling will draw the eye up as you enter the room, helping the room to feel larger than it actually is.

Denim Drift & Cream

Cream shades bring a much warmer aesthetic to space than bright white, and it’s a much more forgiving colour against imperfections and scratches.

This warm neutral is a beautiful pairing for Denim Drift, incorporate it by layering different textures too, think boucle, wool and calico to name a few.

Where To Buy Denim Drift Dulux

Denim Drift can be picked up from most B&Q stores, it can also be conveniently be picked up from the following online stores;

Just remember to use the undertones as a guide when picking other like colours, but you can experiment with bolder pops of colour too if you want a more maximalist decor scheme in your home. Happy painting!
