What color is Dulux Fresh Plaster?

Dulux Fresh Plaster 40YR 53/149 is a muted pink-beige with a noticeable warm, clay-like cast. Its mid-light depth gives walls color without making a room feel heavily saturated, while the softened tone keeps it from reading as overtly pink. In bright daylight, this shade can appear like a faded peachy plaster; under warmer lamps, its rosy beige side becomes more pronounced. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces where a gentle warm backdrop is wanted, and can also bring character to painted cabinetry. Pair Fresh Plaster with chalky off-whites, warm taupes, terracotta ceramics, pale oak, and aged brass for a grounded, tonal scheme.
