What color is Dulux Rich Praline 6?

Dulux Rich Praline 6 90YR 83/018 is a very light, softly muted neutral with a gentle warm-grey cast. Its low saturation keeps it close to an off-white, while the subtle beige undertone prevents it from feeling stark or icy. In bright daylight, Rich Praline 6 reads clean and pale; under warmer evening lighting, its creamy mineral notes become more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet wall color is needed without the sharp contrast of pure white. Pair it with chalky whites, pale oak, linen upholstery, brushed nickel, or deeper charcoal details for definition.
