What color is Dulux Glacial Flow?

Dulux Glacial Flow 17GY 68/005 is a pale, low-saturation grey with an almost neutral appearance and the faintest warm cast. Its light value keeps walls looking open without reading as stark white, while the minimal colourfulness gives it a soft, powdery finish. In cool daylight, Glacial Flow can appear clean and silvery; under warmer lamps, its subtle beige-yellow hint becomes a little more noticeable. It suits broad wall areas in bedrooms, hallways, and living rooms, especially where a quiet background is needed for natural wood, brushed metal, or linen upholstery. Pair it with crisp off-whites for gentle contrast, charcoal details for definition, or muted greens and clay tones for a more grounded scheme.
