Dulux Bleached Lichen 3 40YY 67/087 is a light, softly muted beige with a noticeable warm cream cast. Its pale depth keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the low saturation gives it a gently softened, chalky appearance. In daylight, Bleached Lichen 3 can appear close to a warm off-white; under warmer lamps, its sandy beige character becomes more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a restrained neutral is needed across large wall areas. Pair this color with natural oak, linen upholstery, woven textures, and deeper accents in mushroom brown, olive, or charcoal.
