What color is Dulux Soft Almond 5?

Dulux Soft Almond 5 90YR 67/085 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable blush-pink cast and gentle warm undertones. Its pale value keeps it from feeling heavy, while the soft earthy tint gives plain white walls a warmer alternative. In daylight, this color reads as a creamy pink-beige; under warmer evening lighting, its rosy almond tones become more apparent. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a quiet, low-contrast backdrop is wanted, and can also soften painted cabinetry. Pair Soft Almond 5 with warm off-whites, clay neutrals, pale oak, linen, and brushed brass rather than crisp blue-based greys.
