What color is Dulux Green Raft?

Dulux Green Raft 40YY 51/084 is a light, muted beige-grey with a noticeably warm cast and a soft, weathered appearance. Its low saturation keeps it restrained rather than overtly green, reading more like a softened stone or putty neutral on broad wall areas. In cooler daylight, Green Raft can appear greyer and slightly chalky, while warm artificial light brings out its beige and gentle yellow-based warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and cabinetry where a pale neutral is wanted without the starkness of off-white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen, aged brass, and deeper olive or mushroom-toned accents for a grounded scheme.
