What color is Dulux Heather Bloom 5?

Dulux Heather Bloom 5 90RB 68/085 is a light, muted pink-lilac with a soft greyed cast that keeps it from reading overly sweet. Its cool rosy-purple undertone is most noticeable in clear daylight, while warmer bulbs can draw out a gentler blush appearance. Heather Bloom 5 suits bedroom walls, dressing areas, or a powder room where a pale colour can add definition without making the room feel dark. Pair it with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and muted green-grey textiles for a restrained, layered scheme. On cabinetry or a single feature wall, this shade brings more colour than an off-white while remaining quiet enough for larger surfaces.
