What color is Dulux Oyster Cove 5?

Dulux Oyster Cove 5 90RR 73/027 is a pale, muted blush-grey with a lightly warm, rosy cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the restrained saturation prevents it from reading as overtly pink. In daylight, Oyster Cove 5 can look like a soft off-white with a dusted pink undertone; warmer artificial light tends to bring that gentle flush forward. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a little warmth is wanted without using a stronger color. Pair it with chalky whites, mushroom grey, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed nickel for a quietly layered finish.
