Antique Map

Dulux

The Analysis

Antique Map is a versatile neutral that acts as a bridge between beige and grey. With an LRV of 63.02, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making spaces feel open without the stark glare of a pure white paint.

This is an ideal 'whole-home' colour. It works perfectly as a primary wall choice for living rooms or hallways because it provides enough warmth to be welcoming without overpowering your furniture or art.

History & Origin

Antique Map leans into a Heritage aesthetic. It mimics the natural, unbleached look of aged plaster and parchment, making it a reliable choice for period properties or homes where you want a traditional foundation.

How to Use It

Pair this with dark walnut woods or matte black hardware to create a sophisticated, high-contrast look. It also plays well with natural textures like linen and jute, which enhance its earthy character.

The Mood

Living with this shade feels grounded and restful. It lacks the harsh undertones of modern greys, providing a stable, calm backdrop that is easy on the eyes throughout the day.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
