What color is Dulux Soft Fauna 1?

Dulux Soft Fauna 1 30GG 16/137 is a muted mid-to-deep green with a noticeable blue-grey cast, giving it a cool, shaded appearance rather than a bright botanical look. Its restrained saturation helps it read as grounded and substantial on full walls, especially in studies, dining rooms, and bedrooms with good natural light. In brighter conditions, the green becomes clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can bring out its smoky grey depth. Pair Soft Fauna 1 with chalky off-whites, weathered oak, pale stone, and brushed nickel for a clean, quietly layered scheme. It also has enough depth for kitchen cabinetry or a painted interior door when balanced with lighter surrounding surfaces.
