What color is Dulux Vintage Smoke?

Dulux Vintage Smoke 50YR 13/032 is a deep, muted grey with a noticeable warm brown cast. Its low-light depth gives walls a grounded, shadowed look, while the soft red-yellow influence keeps it from reading as stark charcoal. In brighter daylight, Vintage Smoke can appear like a weathered taupe-grey; under warm evening lighting, its earthy undertone becomes more apparent. It suits dining rooms, studies, and bedrooms where a darker wall color can add definition without turning fully black. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm stone, aged brass, oak, and natural linen for a layered, material-led interior.
