What color is Dulux Urban Walk?

Dulux Urban Walk 40YY 25/074 is a muted, mid-depth gray-brown with a gently warm, weathered cast. Its low-saturation character keeps it grounded and understated, reading closer to a softened taupe than a crisp gray. In bright daylight, the subtle beige-yellow influence is more noticeable, while lower light brings out its deeper, stonier side. Use Urban Walk on living room or hallway walls for a quiet backdrop, or on cabinetry where a dark neutral feels less stark than charcoal. It pairs well with chalky off-whites, warm wood, black metal details, and natural linen or leather.
