What color is Dulux Pixie Green?

Dulux Pixie Green is a clear mid-tone green with a lightly blue-leaning cast that keeps it looking fresh rather than earthy. Its moderate saturation gives it enough presence for full walls, while still feeling open and bright in rooms with good daylight. In cooler light, the green can appear a little crisper and cleaner; warmer bulbs bring out a softer, more rounded look. It suits kitchens, utility rooms, children’s spaces, or a painted cabinet where a distinct but not overly dark color is wanted. Pair Pixie Green with chalky whites, pale grey, light oak, natural rattan, or deep charcoal accents for contrast.
