What color is Dulux Spiders Web?

Dulux Spiders Web 90YY 73/040 is a pale, muted off-white with a soft grey-beige cast and a gentle yellow-based warmth. Its low saturation keeps it from reading stark, giving walls a lightly weathered, mineral quality rather than a crisp white finish. In cool daylight, Spiders Web can appear more silvery and subdued, while warmer lamps bring out its creamy undertone. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and painted cabinetry where a quiet neutral is wanted without the brightness of pure white. Pair it with pale oak, brushed nickel, limestone, soft charcoal, or deeper olive accents for contrast.
