# Dulux Cinder Block

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/cinder-block](https://plan-home.com/color/cinder-block)

Dulux Cinder Block is a muted mid-tone gray with a gentle brown cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its low saturation gives walls a grounded, softly weathered look, particularly in living rooms, hallways, and studies. In bright daylight, Cinder Block can appear like a balanced warm gray, while lower or north-facing light brings out its deeper, charcoal-leaning character. Pair it with chalky off-whites, black metal details, natural oak, and linen upholstery for a restrained, material-led interior. It also has enough depth for cabinetry or a front door when a softer alternative to near-black is wanted.
