What color is Dulux Candy Cream?

Dulux Candy Cream 90YR 84/076 is a very light warm cream with a noticeable blush of peach and soft pink beneath its pale surface. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle color content prevents it from reading as plain white. In daylight, Candy Cream can show its delicate rosy warmth more clearly; under warmer lamps, it may take on a softer, creamier appearance. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, dressing areas, and living rooms where a quiet warm neutral is wanted without turning beige. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak, natural linen, muted terracotta, or deep brown accents for definition.

What are Dulux Candy Cream undertones?

Candy Cream is a near-white, very muted creamy off-white. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear 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.
