What color is Dulux English Mist 3?

Dulux English Mist 3 10GY 39/136 is a muted yellow-green with a noticeable grey cast, sitting in the light-to-mid depth range. Its low saturation keeps the green understated, while the warm olive note prevents it from reading as cold or minty. In daylight, this shade can appear gently green and earthy; under warmer lamps, its softened khaki undertone may become more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways where a restrained natural color is wanted without using a pale neutral. Pair English Mist 3 with chalky off-whites, warm grey-beiges, natural oak, linen, and aged brass for a grounded interior scheme.
