Mineral Haze 2

Dulux

The Analysis

Mineral Haze 2 is a cool-toned, mid-grey with a distinct blue undertone that pulls light into a room while remaining grounded. With an LRV of 61.18, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it a reliable choice to prevent a space from feeling cramped without the glare of a pure white.

This is a quintessential backdrop colour that excels as a main wall paint throughout open-plan areas or hallways. It is subtle enough to let furniture and artwork stand out, acting as a neutral anchor rather than a competing focal point.

How to Use It

It works best in rooms with plenty of natural light, where it prevents the blue undertones from turning too icy. Pair it with light oak or walnut wood tones for warmth, and use matte black hardware to lean into a sophisticated, modern look.

The Mood

This colour creates a restful, stable environment because it lacks aggressive warmth or harshness. It feels clean and professional, which helps minimize visual clutter and keeps a room feeling organized.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
