What color is Dulux Garden Grey?

Dulux Garden Grey 10GG 53/030 is a light, muted grey with a noticeable but restrained green cast. Its soft mid-light depth keeps it from reading stark on broad walls, while the low saturation gives it a gently weathered, mineral quality. In daylight, the green undertone is likely to appear clearer; under warmer artificial lighting, it may settle into a softer grey-green. Use it in kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, or on painted cabinetry alongside off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and natural stone. Garden Grey also pairs well with deeper charcoal greys and dusty botanical greens for a layered, grounded scheme.
