What color is Dulux Highland Mist?

Dulux Highland Mist 37GY 38/050 is a muted mid-tone green-grey with a softened, lightly earthy cast. Its low saturation keeps the green understated, so it reads as a gentle mineral neutral rather than a distinctly leafy shade. In bright daylight, the grey component becomes clearer, while warmer evening lighting can bring out its subdued olive-green undertone. It suits bedrooms, studies, and living-room walls where a grounded colour is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair Highland Mist with warm off-whites, natural oak, limestone, brushed brass, and charcoal details for a considered, material-led scheme.
