What color is Dulux English Mist 1?

Dulux English Mist 1 10GY 20/179 is a muted, medium-depth green with a noticeable olive and yellow-grey cast. Its softened saturation keeps the color earthy rather than bright, making it a grounded option for living-room walls, studies, or painted joinery. In daylight, English Mist 1 can read as a dusty olive green, while lower or warmer artificial light may draw out its brownish, moss-like undertones. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm putty neutrals, aged brass, oak, and woven natural fibres for a layered interior. It also has enough depth to define kitchen cabinetry or an exterior door without appearing overly dark.
