# Dulux Paper Chain

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/paper-chain](https://plan-home.com/color/paper-chain)

Dulux Paper Chain 10YY 72/021 is a light, softly muted off-white with a gentle warm-grey cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading creamy or distinctly beige, while the #DFDAD5 value gives it enough warmth to avoid a stark, cool-white appearance. In bright daylight, Paper Chain can look clean and pale; under warmer evening bulbs, its subtle beige-grey character is likely to become more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and whole-wall schemes where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted. Pair it with natural oak, linen, brushed brass, charcoal accents, or deeper taupe textiles for definition.
