Dulux Heart Wood 10YR 28/072 is a muted mid-tone shade that sits between warm grey, soft taupe, and a faded rosy beige. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overtly pink, while the #9b8987 value gives it a gently weathered, earthy appearance. In bright daylight it can read as a pale warm grey with a blush cast, while lower light draws out its deeper brown-grey base. Use it on bedroom or living room walls for a cocooning backdrop, or on cabinetry where its softness can temper crisp white tiles. Natural oak, aged brass, charcoal accents, clay ceramics, and off-white linens all pair well with this shade.
