What color is Dulux Clouded Pearl 1?

Dulux Clouded Pearl 1 30BG 72/017 is a pale grey with a subtle blue-green cast that keeps it from reading flat or stark. Its high lightness gives walls an airy, softly muted look, while the low saturation makes the color feel quiet rather than overtly cool. In bright daylight, the green-grey note is more noticeable; under warmer lamps, it can appear closer to a gentle silvery grey. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or light-filled living spaces alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft charcoal details. Clouded Pearl 1 also suits cabinetry when paired with warmer stone or natural wood to give the scheme a little contrast.
