What color is Dulux Scottish Loch?

Dulux Scottish Loch 29GY 10/029 is a deep, muted charcoal-grey with a restrained green-grey cast. Its low saturation keeps it from reading obviously green, but that earthy undertone can become more noticeable beside crisp white or cool blue-grey finishes. In bright daylight, this shade appears grounded and mineral-like; under warmer lamps, it can look softer and slightly more olive. Use it on cabinetry, a study wall, exterior trim, or a fireplace surround where a dark neutral is wanted without a blue-black effect. Pair Scottish Loch with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, limestone, and matte black details.
