What color is Dulux Mercury Shower 1?

Dulux Mercury Shower 1 10RR 13/081 is a deep, muted mauve-grey with a noticeable plum cast. Its low brightness gives walls a grounded, cocooning look, while the softened colour keeps it from reading as a sharp purple. In daylight, Mercury Shower 1 can appear more greyed and restrained; under warm lamps, its dusky red-violet undertones become clearer. It suits intimate rooms such as dining spaces, bedrooms, and studies, and also makes a characterful choice for cabinetry or a feature wall. Pair this shade with warm off-whites, mushroom neutrals, aged brass, walnut, and natural linen for a layered, understated interior.
