# Dulux Shell Stories

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/shell-stories](https://plan-home.com/color/shell-stories)

Dulux Shell Stories 30GY 83/043 is a very light, softened green-grey with a gentle yellowed cast that keeps it from reading stark or icy. Its high lightness gives walls an airy, low-contrast finish, while the muted colour content adds more character than a standard off-white. In daylight, Shell Stories is likely to show its pale green-grey direction most clearly; under warmer bulbs, its subtle yellow undertone can make it appear creamier. Use it across living-room, bedroom, or hallway walls where a quiet wash of colour is wanted without darkening the room. It pairs naturally with warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, brushed nickel, and deeper olive or charcoal accents.
