What color is Dulux Common Dormouse?

Dulux Common Dormouse 50YY 27/105 is a muted mid-tone neutral with a soft yellow-grey cast and an earthy, slightly olive-leaning character. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading too golden, while the depth gives walls more presence than a pale beige or off-white. In daylight, this color can appear like a weathered khaki neutral; under warmer lamps, its yellow undertone becomes more noticeable. Common Dormouse suits living rooms, hallways, and studies, especially alongside chalky whites, deep charcoal, aged brass, oak, and natural linen. It is particularly effective on full walls or cabinetry where its quiet, grounded color can be appreciated.
