What color is Dulux Vanilla Mist 4?

Dulux Vanilla Mist 4 71YY 87/078 is a very light creamy off-white with a clear yellow-beige cast. Its high brightness keeps walls looking open, while the soft warmth prevents it from reading as stark white. In daylight, Vanilla Mist 4 appears lightly sunlit and pale; under warm evening bulbs, its buttery undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle alternative to pure white is wanted, especially alongside natural oak, linen, rattan, and warm brass. Pair this shade with muted clay, soft sage, or deeper caramel brown for contrast that keeps the palette grounded.

What are Dulux Vanilla Mist 4 undertones?

Vanilla Mist 4 is a near-white, very muted cream. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.
