What color is Dulux Rich Praline 5?

Dulux Rich Praline 5 90YR 64/040 is a light, softly muted neutral with a gentle warmth and a subtle beige-grey cast.

Rich Praline 5 is well suited to living-room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a quiet neutral backdrop is wanted without a stark finish. Pair it with chalky white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, muted clay tones, or charcoal details for contrast.
