What color is Dulux Fragrant Peony?

Dulux Fragrant Peony 83BB 71/082 is a pale, cool blue-grey with a soft violet cast that keeps it from reading like a plain neutral. Its light value makes it useful for broad wall areas, where it gives a room a clean, lightly airy backdrop without appearing stark. In daylight, Fragrant Peony shows its powdery blue character more clearly; under warmer evening lighting, the grey and lavender notes become more noticeable. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, pale stone, or brushed nickel for a restrained, contemporary look. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing rooms particularly well, and can also bring a quiet wash of color to cabinetry or a ceiling.
