What color is Dulux Nutmeg Cluster 6?

Dulux Nutmeg Cluster 6 50YR 83/020 is a very light, low-chroma off-white with a gentle warm cast. Its subtle red-yellow base gives the pale surface a muted pink-beige note rather than a crisp white appearance. In bright daylight, Nutmeg Cluster 6 reads as softly warmed and almost chalky, while lower or cooler light can bring out its faint rosy-grey undertone. It is well suited to whole-room walls, ceilings, and woodwork where a softer alternative to stark white is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen upholstery, clay-toned ceramics, or deeper mushroom and muted brown accents for a grounded interior.
