# Dulux Javelin

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/javelin](https://plan-home.com/color/javelin)

Dulux Javelin is a deep, muted charcoal grey with a gently softened neutral cast rather than a stark black edge. Its low-saturation finish gives walls a grounded, close-to-the-background look, especially in rooms with pale flooring or light trim. In bright daylight, Javelin reads as a softened dark grey; under warmer evening lighting, its subtle warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, and exterior details where a darker color can add definition without looking harsh. Pair it with chalky off-whites, weathered oak, brushed metal, or muted stone for a restrained, layered scheme.
