What color is Dulux Mercury Shower 4?

Dulux Mercury Shower 4 10RR 56/029 is a light, muted grey with a gentle rosy cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its low saturation gives walls a soft, powdery appearance, while the subtle red undertone can become more noticeable in warm daylight and under incandescent lighting. In cooler, north-facing rooms, Mercury Shower 4 is likely to appear closer to a pale, slightly pinked grey. It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and living rooms where a quiet neutral is wanted without the flatness of a standard grey. Pair it with chalky whites, pale mushroom tones, brushed nickel, light oak, or deeper plum-grey accents for definition.
