What color is Dulux Graceful Green?

Dulux Graceful Green 90GY 70/221 is a pale, muted green-grey with a softly weathered appearance. Its low saturation keeps the green understated, so it can read as a light neutral from a distance while showing more of its green cast in clear daylight. In dimmer rooms, this color may lean closer to a gentle grey, making it a useful option for walls where a white would feel too stark. Pair Graceful Green with chalky off-whites, warm grey textiles, pale oak, and brushed nickel for a restrained, natural-looking scheme. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas particularly well, and can also bring a quiet hint of color to cabinetry or interior woodwork.
