What color is Dulux Grey Splendor?

Dulux Grey Splendor 30BB 21/056 is a medium-depth blue-grey with a muted, slate-like cast. Its cool undertone is noticeable in clear daylight, where the grey takes on a slightly steely blue character, while warmer evening lighting can make it appear softer and more neutral. Grey Splendor has enough weight for a study, hallway, or north-facing living room without reading as near-black. Use it on walls with off-white trim, pale oak flooring, and brushed nickel or black metal details for a clean, grounded scheme. It also suits painted cabinetry when paired with light stone worktops and warm white walls.
