What color is Dulux Grey Wisp?

Dulux Grey Wisp 30BB 72/003 is a very light, near-neutral grey with a softly muted appearance. Its minimal saturation keeps the color clean and understated, while the faint off-white cast prevents it from reading as a stark, icy grey. In bright daylight, Grey Wisp can appear close to a pale grey-white; under warmer artificial lighting, it may look slightly softer and more subdued. It is well suited to broad wall areas in bedrooms, hallways, and open-plan living spaces where a low-contrast backdrop is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim for a subtle definition, or use natural oak, linen, pale stone, and brushed metal finishes to retain its quiet, light-filled character.
