What color is Dulux Clouded Pearl 3?

Dulux Clouded Pearl 3 10BB 83/020 is a very light, softly cool off-white with a subtle blue-grey cast. Its low saturation keeps it close to neutral, while the faint blue-green influence prevents it from reading as creamy or stark white. In daylight, this color can appear clean and airy; under warmer lamps, its cool tint becomes gentler and more muted. It is well suited to walls and ceilings in bathrooms, bedrooms, or light-filled living areas, especially alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, white marble, and soft charcoal details. Pair Clouded Pearl 3 with deeper slate blues or muted blue-greens for a restrained tonal scheme.
