What color is Dulux Mercury Shower 3?

Dulux Mercury Shower 3 10RR 41/042 is a muted mid-tone grey with a noticeable dusty rose-purple cast. Its low saturation keeps the color soft and chalky rather than overtly pink, making it well suited to bedroom walls, quiet living rooms, or a painted hallway. In warm daylight it can read slightly rosier, while cooler artificial light brings forward its grey-violet side. Pair Mercury Shower 3 with off-white trim, mushroom beige, weathered oak, and brushed nickel for a restrained layered scheme. It can also give cabinetry or an interior door a gentle contrast against pale greige walls.
