What color is Dulux Mystic Mauve 4?

Dulux Mystic Mauve 4 48BB 56/162 is a pale, muted blue with a gentle lavender-grey cast that keeps it from feeling icy. Its light value makes it especially effective on full walls in bedrooms, bathrooms, or softly lit living areas, where it can create a clean, airy backdrop without reading stark. In daylight, this shade is likely to show its cool blue character more clearly, while warmer lamps can bring forward its subtle violet softness. Pair Mystic Mauve 4 with crisp white trim, dove grey upholstery, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a restrained, contemporary look. Deep navy, charcoal, and plum-toned accessories can add useful contrast without overwhelming the color’s quiet finish.
