What color is Dulux Java Cream 3?

Dulux Java Cream 3 10YR 83/015 is a very light, softly muted off-white with a faint warm-grey cast. Its high value keeps walls looking open and bright, while the low saturation prevents it from reading as stark white. In daylight, Java Cream 3 can appear nearly neutral; under warmer lamps, its subtle beige-pink warmth is more noticeable. It suits whole-room wall colour in bedrooms, living areas, and hallways, especially alongside natural oak, pale stone, linen, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair this color with deeper mushroom greys, soft charcoal, or dusty clay accents.
