What color is Dulux Abalone Sands?

Dulux Abalone Sands 01YY 75/115 is a light, warm peach-beige with a soft blush cast that keeps it from reading as plain cream. Its pale value gives walls an airy look, while the gentle color saturation adds more presence than an off-white. In bright daylight, this shade can appear creamy and lightly apricot-toned; under warmer evening lamps, its pink-beige notes become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and softly lit living areas, particularly alongside natural oak, linen upholstery, travertine, and brushed brass. Pair Abalone Sands with muted terracotta, warm white, or deep olive accents for contrast without making the room feel overly sharp.
