What color is Dulux Alpine Forest?

Dulux Alpine Forest 38GG 80/077 is a very light, cool green with a soft aqua cast, shown here as the pale #D6EAE2. Its low saturation keeps the color airy rather than overtly minty, making it well suited to larger wall areas in bathrooms, bedrooms, or light-filled hallways. In bright daylight, Alpine Forest can read as a clean washed green, while warmer evening lighting may bring out a gentler grey-green quality. Pair it with crisp white trim for a fresh contrast, or use pale oak, limestone, brushed nickel, and muted blue-grey textiles to support its cool undertone. It can also make a calm choice for painted cabinetry when a dark or strongly colored finish would feel too heavy.
