What color is Dulux Crushed Mint?

Dulux Crushed Mint is a pale, muted green with a noticeable grey cast, giving it a softened, low-saturation appearance. The #B8C6C2 value reads cool and lightly dusty rather than bright or sugary, so it can bring color to a room without making the walls feel overly green. In daylight, its green undertone is likely to show more clearly, while lower or warmer lighting may pull it closer to a gentle green-grey. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, utility spaces, and calm kitchen cabinetry, particularly alongside warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, or brushed nickel. For contrast, pair Crushed Mint with deeper charcoal, inky blue-grey, or black accents rather than another similarly pale neutral.
