What color is Dulux Tailors Chalk?

Dulux Tailors Chalk 61YY 76/109 is a light, muted cream with a noticeable yellow-beige cast rather than a crisp white appearance. Its soft, low-saturation character gives walls a gently warmed finish, especially in rooms with natural daylight. In cooler or shaded light, this color can read more subdued and oatmeal-like, while warmer bulbs bring forward its creamy yellow notes. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale neutral is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Pair Tailors Chalk with natural oak, linen, brushed brass, and deeper earthy accents such as olive, clay, or charcoal.
