# Dulux Birch Root

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/birch-root](https://plan-home.com/color/birch-root)

Dulux Birch Root 50RR 32/029 is a muted mid-tone grey with a soft red-violet cast, giving it a faint dusty blush beneath its neutral surface. Its low saturation keeps the color restrained rather than overtly pink, so it can read as a warm grey in balanced daylight. In cooler or shadowed rooms, Birch Root may appear more stony and subdued, while warm artificial light can bring out its gentle rosy undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and painted cabinetry where a deeper neutral is wanted without the hardness of a charcoal. Pair it with chalky off-whites, mushroom beige, muted plum accents, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a grounded, layered scheme.
