What color is Dulux Crushed Cotton 3?

Dulux Crushed Cotton 3 50YR 83/025 is a very light off-white with a gentle warm, pink-beige cast.

In cool daylight, Crushed Cotton 3 can appear softly neutral, whereas warmer bulbs bring out more of its blush-toned warmth. It is well suited to bedroom, living-room, and hallway walls where stark white would feel too sharp. Pair it with natural oak, pale stone, linen upholstery, muted terracotta, or soft grey-beige accents for a layered, understated scheme.
