What color is Dulux Lilac Heather 6?

Dulux Lilac Heather 6 90BB 83/020 is an exceptionally pale, low-saturation shade with a faint cool lilac-grey cast. At this light depth, it can read almost off-white in bright daylight, while lower or cooler light makes its soft violet note more noticeable. It is well suited to whole-room walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, or quiet home offices where a stark white would feel too sharp. Pair Lilac Heather 6 with chalky whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details to keep the finish clean and understated. On cabinetry or trim, this color is best used alongside deeper wall colors so its subtle tint does not disappear.
