Try Ash Grape with Star Crossed, Green Sandstone with Just Walnut, Totally Nutmeg with Soft Wheat, Roasted Chestnut with Muslin Birch, or Rain Storm with Contemplation.

Useful information
Water-based paints Where possible, water-based paints should be selected in preference to solvent-based paints particularly for any large interior surface area such as walls, ceilings and floors. Lead in paint All Dulux decorative paints are free from any added lead. However, the wood and metal surfaces of the building, especially if it is pre-1960, may have been decorated in the past with a paint made with lead pigments. Preparation and removal of such paint can be hazardous. A free leaflet explaining how the surface should be prepared safely is available from the Dulux Trade Technical Advice Centre on 0870 2421100. Special Process Colours Some colours, termed Special Process Colours, may require additional coats or a specific undercoat and are marked with #. For details of the process contact the Trade Technical Advice Centre on 0870 242 1100 or your Dulux Trade tinted paint stockist. Tinting Best Practice For best colour consistency, sufficient tinted paint, including touch-in, should be purchased at the beginning of each job from the same source. Diamond Matt cleaning recommendations for painted surface. Common stains can be removed by cleaning promptly with a soft cloth and clean soapy water. Allow to dry. Vigorous scrubbing and the use of abrasive cleaners or scourers may impair the matt finish. Only apply enough pressure to remove marks. Oil based stains and marks from some pens / felt tips / permanent markers may not be completely removed. Full durability develops 7 days after initial application. For information about removing specific stains, please phone the Dulux Trade Technical Advice Centre on 0870 242 1100.
