What color is Dulux Clock Face?

Dulux Clock Face 30GY 83/021 is a very light, softly muted off-white with a faint warm grey-beige cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading as stark white, giving walls a gentle, lightly softened appearance. In bright daylight it can look clean and pale, while evening lighting may bring out its warmer, slightly creamy side. Clock Face suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan spaces where a quiet near-neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair it with pale oak, limestone, brushed nickel, soft charcoal, or muted green-grey accents for a restrained, layered scheme.
