What color is Dulux Narrow Lane?

Dulux Narrow Lane 40YY 41/054 is a muted mid-tone greige with a noticeable warm, earthy cast. Its soft blend of beige, grey, and subdued yellow-based undertones keeps it from reading stark or icy. In bright daylight, Narrow Lane can appear lighter and more stone-like, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its gentle beige warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a grounded neutral is wanted without the pale look of off-white. Pair it with chalky white trim, oatmeal linens, light oak, aged brass, or deeper charcoal accents for contrast.
