What color is Dulux Bleached Lichen 4?

Dulux Bleached Lichen 4 30YY 83/012 is a very light, low-saturation off-white with a subtle warm grey-beige cast.

In daylight, this color appears clean and softly neutral; under warmer lamps, its muted warmth becomes a little more noticeable. Bleached Lichen 4 suits broad wall areas, ceilings, and painted woodwork when a gentle contrast to crisp white trim is wanted. Pair it with light oak, natural linen, stone, and soft charcoal or mushroom-toned accents for a restrained, layered scheme.
