What color is Dulux Silk Breeze?

Dulux Silk Breeze is a very pale off-white with a gentle warm cast, sitting close to cream without reading strongly yellow. Its soft pink-beige undertone is subtle but helps prevent the color from feeling stark or bluish. In bright daylight, Silk Breeze can appear almost white, while evening light brings out its warmer, lightly powdery character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a light backdrop is wanted without the sharpness of pure white. Pair it with natural oak, pale stone, linen upholstery, and muted clay or mushroom-toned accents for a quietly layered scheme.

What are Dulux Silk Breeze undertones?

Silk Breeze is a near-white, near-neutral neutral off-white. Its chroma is so low that assigning a specific hue-based undertone would be misleading. Because it is close to neutral, nearby surfaces and the color of the light can noticeably change how warm or cool it appears.
