What color is Dulux Warm Grey?

Dulux Warm Grey 24YY 22/043 is a muted mid-depth grey with a noticeable brown-beige cast, giving it a gently weathered, earthy appearance. The low saturation keeps it from reading as overtly brown, while its darker value provides more presence than a pale neutral. In bright daylight, Warm Grey can appear like a softened stone grey; under warmer bulbs, its subtle taupe undertone is likely to come forward. It suits living room walls, dining spaces, and bedrooms where a grounded neutral is wanted without the sharpness of a blue-grey. Pair it with off-white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and charcoal details for a layered, material-focused scheme.

What are Dulux Warm Grey undertones?

Warm Grey is a midtone, very muted earthy, slightly muddy brown. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. 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.
