What color is Dulux Deep Fossil?

Dulux Deep Fossil 00NN 31/000 is a muted mid-tone grey with an almost neutral cast and very low color saturation. Its balanced appearance keeps it from reading strongly blue, brown, or green, although changing daylight may bring out subtle differences in its grey character. Use it on living room or bedroom walls where a grounded, unobtrusive backdrop is wanted without the heaviness of charcoal. Deep Fossil also suits cabinetry, interior doors, and built-in shelving, especially alongside crisp white trim, black hardware, pale oak, concrete, or brushed metal. In brighter spaces, it appears soft and even; under lower light, it takes on a deeper, more reserved grey presence.
