What color is Dulux Chalky White 4?

Dulux Chalky White 4 90RB 83/023 is an extremely light off-white with a faint rosy-grey cast visible beneath its pale surface. The #EEE9EB value keeps it soft rather than stark, so it reads less clinical than a pure white while remaining bright enough for broad wall areas. In cool daylight, its subtle pink-lilac undertone may be more noticeable; warmer artificial light can make it appear creamier and gentler. Use Chalky White 4 in bedrooms, living rooms, or softly lit hallways where a quiet, near-white backdrop is wanted. Pair it with pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or muted plum and dusty blue textiles for definition.
