What color is Dulux Milled Flour?

Dulux Milled Flour 57YY 72/138 is a light, softly muted cream with a noticeable yellow-beige cast. Its pale value keeps walls bright without reading as stark white, while the low saturation gives it a gently weathered, powdery appearance. In daylight, Milled Flour can show more of its creamy warmth; under warmer evening bulbs, it is likely to deepen toward a honeyed beige. It suits living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and bedrooms where a warm neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair this color with natural oak, linen, aged brass, warm white trim, and earthy greens or clay-toned accents.
