Dulux Mellow Heather 2 70RB 31/090 is a muted mid-tone grey with a noticeable soft violet cast. Its low saturation keeps the purple understated, so it reads more like a weathered mauve-grey than a distinctly lavender wall color. In daylight, this shade can appear cool and powdery, while warmer lamps bring out its subtle rosy warmth. It suits bedrooms, reading rooms, and dining spaces where a deeper neutral is wanted without using charcoal or brown. Pair Mellow Heather 2 with chalky off-whites, warm pale greys, light oak, brushed nickel, or dark plum accents for contrast.
