What color is Dulux Peppermint Candy?

Dulux Peppermint Candy 10BG 72/057 is a very light blue-green with a soft greyed cast that keeps it gentle rather than sugary or bright. Its cool undertone is clear in daylight, where the pale aqua note becomes more noticeable, while warmer artificial light can draw out its quieter grey-green side. The high lightness makes it a good wall color for bathrooms, bedrooms, or a light-filled kitchen where a clean but not stark backdrop is wanted. Pair Peppermint Candy with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and warm off-white textiles to give the cool color some contrast. It can also suit painted cabinetry or a ceiling in a small room, provided the surrounding finishes are kept light and understated.
