What color is Dulux Weathered Penny?

Dulux Weathered Penny 97YY 24/045 is a muted mid-tone grey with a soft yellow-green cast that keeps it from reading cold or blue. Its low saturation gives walls a gently weathered, mineral-like appearance, especially in rooms with natural timber or stone. In bright daylight, this shade can appear slightly lighter and more olive-grey, while lower light draws out its deeper, earthy side. Use it in a hallway, study, or kitchen with warm white trim, matte black hardware, and oak cabinetry for a grounded palette. It also suits exterior details where a restrained, nature-based neutral is wanted.
