What color is Dulux Fallen Wildflower?

Dulux Fallen Wildflower 30BB 33/163 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable grey cast, giving it the look of weathered denim or a soft blue-grey sky. Its cool base keeps it crisp, while the reduced saturation prevents it from feeling overly bright on large walls. In daylight, this color reads as a calm dusty blue; under warmer artificial light, its grey undertone becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, studies, and north-facing living rooms, especially alongside off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal textiles. Fallen Wildflower also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or a painted feature wall when paired with warm white walls and natural linen.
