What color is Dulux Nutmeg Cluster 5?

Dulux Nutmeg Cluster 5 50YR 74/043 is a pale, low-saturation neutral with a gentle pink-beige cast. Its light value keeps walls looking airy, while the subtle red warmth prevents it from reading as a stark white or plain grey. In bright daylight, Nutmeg Cluster 5 can appear softly rosy and chalky; under warmer bulbs, its beige notes become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet background color is wanted without a cool, blue-grey feel. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen, clay pottery, or deeper brown and muted burgundy accents for definition.
