What color is Dulux Snail Trail?

Dulux Snail Trail 04BB 75/027 is a pale, lightly muted blue-grey with a clean, cool cast. Its high lightness makes it useful for opening up smaller rooms while adding more character than a plain off-white. In daylight, the blue-grey note is likely to read clearest, while warmer artificial light can soften it toward a gentler silvery grey. Try it on bedroom, bathroom, or hallway walls with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft charcoal accents. Snail Trail also suits simple cabinetry or panelling where a subtle cool contrast is wanted without making the surface feel dark.
