What color is Dulux Misty Mountain?

Dulux Misty Mountain 30YY 46/036 is a muted mid-tone grey with a gentle beige cast, giving it a softly warmed, weathered appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color understated rather than overtly tan, so it can read as a calm greige on broad walls. In cooler daylight, this shade is likely to appear more stone-grey, while warm artificial lighting can bring forward its beige notes. Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, or on cabinetry where a quieter alternative to plain grey is wanted. Pair Misty Mountain with off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, and natural linen or wool textures.
