What color is Dulux Beach Grass?

Dulux Beach Grass 83YY 72/129 is a light, muted yellow-beige with a soft greyed cast that keeps it from reading overly creamy. Its high lightness makes it a gentle wall color for bedrooms, hallways, and living areas where a pale neutral is wanted without the starkness of white. In daylight, Beach Grass can appear like a quiet off-white with a subtle straw-yellow undertone, while warmer artificial light brings out more of its creamy beige character. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, woven fibres, and chalky whites for a layered neutral scheme, or add contrast through charcoal, olive green, or deep blue-grey details. It is particularly well suited to broad wall surfaces and can also give painted woodwork a softened, low-contrast finish.
