What color is Dulux Frayed Hessian 1?

Dulux Frayed Hessian 1 90YR 59/108 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable rosy-peach cast. Its softness keeps it from reading as a plain cream, while the low saturation gives walls a gently chalky, lived-in appearance. In daylight, this shade can appear warm and lightly blush-toned; under warmer evening bulbs, its beige base becomes more prominent. It suits bedrooms, sitting rooms, and hallways where a pale neutral with more character than white is wanted. Pair Frayed Hessian 1 with soft off-whites, warm taupe, natural oak, linen, terracotta ceramics, or brushed brass for a cohesive finish.
