What color is Dulux Romantic Reverie?

Dulux Romantic Reverie is a pale, muted blush-grey with a faint mauve cast that keeps it from reading as plain off-white. Its low saturation gives walls a softly powdered appearance, with the pink undertone becoming a little more noticeable in warm daylight and under incandescent lighting. In cooler light, this shade can look more silvery and neutral. Use it in bedrooms, dressing rooms, or living spaces where a gentle hint of color is wanted without a strong pastel effect. Romantic Reverie pairs well with chalky whites, warm grey textiles, natural oak, brushed brass, and deeper plum or charcoal accents.
