What color is Dulux Nutmeg Cluster 3?

Dulux Nutmeg Cluster 3 50YR 49/098 is a muted, mid-tone beige with a noticeable rosy cast. Its #CBB3AA color value gives it soft pink-brown undertones rather than a yellow or grey-beige appearance. In daylight, Nutmeg Cluster 3 can read as a gentle warm neutral, while warmer artificial light is likely to bring out its peachier, clay-like side. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas where a colored neutral is wanted without a heavy or dark effect. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm taupes, natural oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass for a grounded, quietly layered palette.
