What color is Dulux Chalky White 3?

Dulux Chalky White 3 90RB 83/015 is a very pale off-white with a faint muted rosy-grey cast visible beneath its soft surface. Its high lightness keeps rooms looking open, while the low saturation prevents it from reading as stark white. In daylight, Chalky White 3 can appear gently pink-tinted beside cleaner whites; under warmer lamps, it takes on a slightly softer, more powdery look. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and ceilings where a subtle alternative to pure white is wanted. Pair this color with pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or dusty mauves for a considered, quiet contrast.
