What color is Dulux Velvet Truffle 5?

Dulux Velvet Truffle 5 80YR 66/070 is a light, muted beige with a noticeable warm rosy cast. Its soft red-yellow undertone keeps it from reading as a flat grey or cream, giving walls a gently flushed, clay-like appearance. In north-facing rooms it may appear a little cooler and more taupe, while warm daylight and evening lamps bring out its peach-beige warmth. Velvet Truffle 5 suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale neutral is wanted without the sharpness of white. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, or deeper terracotta accents for a grounded palette.
