What color is Dulux Natural Hessian?

Dulux Natural Hessian 14YY 69/082 is a light, softly muted beige with a warm cream base and a gentle blush-tan cast. Its pale value keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the low saturation gives it a powdery, settled appearance. In daylight, Natural Hessian can look like a clean sandy neutral; under warm evening lighting, its creamy warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet backdrop is needed, particularly alongside oak, linen, woven jute, and brushed brass. Pair this color with chalky whites, deeper camel tones, or muted olive accents for contrast that retains its natural warmth.

What are Dulux Natural Hessian undertones?

Natural Hessian is a light, very muted sandy beige. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-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.

HEX value:

#E1D5C6

RGB code:

225, 213, 198

LRV of Natural Hessian

Natural Hessian has an LRV of 69% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 69%, 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.
