What color is Dulux Calming Meadow?

Dulux Calming Meadow is a muted, earthy mid-tone with a soft olive-khaki cast and a gently warm beige base. Its low saturation keeps it understated, reading more like weathered grass or dried herbs than a strong green. In bright daylight, the yellow-green undertone becomes clearer, while lower or warmer light can bring out its sandy, taupe-like side. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and studies where a grounded wall color is wanted without going dark. Pair Calming Meadow with chalky whites, warm greige, natural oak, linen, aged brass, and deep charcoal accents for a restrained, material-led scheme.
