What color is Dulux Cannon Ball?
Dulux Cannon Ball 90BG 11/016 is a deep charcoal grey with a restrained blue-green cast that keeps it from reading flat or brown. Its low-light value gives walls a grounded, architectural look, while daylight can bring out its cool, softly mineral character. Use it in a study, dining room, or hallway where a darker backdrop can define pale wood, brushed nickel, and off-white trim. Cannon Ball also suits cabinetry or a front door when paired with warmer greige walls, natural oak, or muted clay-toned accessories.
