What color is Dulux Frayed Hessian 2?

Dulux Frayed Hessian 2 90YR 75/072 is a pale, warm neutral with a noticeable blush-pink cast beneath its creamy beige surface. Its light value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted colour prevents it from reading as sugary or overtly peach. In daylight, this shade can appear softly rosy and chalky; under warmer evening lamps, its beige undertone becomes more pronounced. Frayed Hessian 2 suits bedrooms, sitting rooms, and hallways where a gentle alternative to off-white is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen, terracotta, or deeper clay and muted brown accents for a grounded finish.
