What color is Dulux Quartz Flint 1?

Dulux Quartz Flint 1 30BG 31/022 is a muted mid-tone grey with a gently cool, blue-leaning cast. Its low saturation keeps it looking grounded rather than overtly colourful, making it a useful alternative to a plain neutral grey. In daylight, Quartz Flint 1 can read as a clean, slightly mineral grey, while warmer artificial lighting may soften its cool edge. It suits living-room walls, bathrooms, or painted cabinetry where a restrained colour is wanted without creating a stark backdrop. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed steel, charcoal details, or soft off-whites for a measured, contemporary scheme.
