What color is Dulux Quartz Flint 2?

Dulux Quartz Flint 2 50BG 54/028 is a light, muted blue-grey with a gently cool cast and low saturation. Its pale value keeps walls looking open without reading as stark white, while the slight blue-green influence gives it a clean, mineral-like character. In daylight, this color can appear airy and softly silvery; under warmer bulbs, the grey side is likely to become more noticeable. Quartz Flint 2 suits bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and quiet living areas where a restrained backdrop is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or soft off-whites for a considered, understated scheme.
