What color is Dulux Bleached Lichen 1?

Dulux Bleached Lichen 1 30YY 36/094 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable earthy, khaki-taupe cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it from reading overly yellow, while the warm yellow-red base gives the color a gently aged, natural look. In bright daylight, this shade can appear lighter and more stone-like; under warm lamps, its beige and brown notes become more apparent. Bleached Lichen 1 is particularly suited to living rooms, hallways, and studies where a grounded wall color is wanted without the heaviness of a deeper brown. Pair it with chalky off-whites, weathered oak, linen upholstery, blackened metal, or deep olive accents for a considered, material-led interior.

What are Dulux Bleached Lichen 1 undertones?

Bleached Lichen 1 is a mid-light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.
