What color is Dulux Gentle Fawn?
Dulux Gentle Fawn 00YY 65/060 is a light, muted beige with a soft warm cast and a faint rosy-grey influence. Its low saturation keeps it from looking overtly creamy, giving walls a gently weathered, powdery appearance instead. In bright daylight, Gentle Fawn can appear pale and almost neutral, while warmer evening light brings forward its subtle peach-beige notes. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet backdrop is wanted without the starkness of white. Pair it with chalky whites, warm grey textiles, natural oak, linen, and brushed brass for a layered, grounded scheme.

What are Dulux Gentle Fawn undertones?
Gentle Fawn is a light, very muted muted beige. The HEX sample has a subtle orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.

LRV of Gentle Fawn
Gentle Fawn has an LRV of 65% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 65%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
