Dulux Easycare Bathroom Soft Sheen 2.5L - Egyptian Cotton

Dulux Easycare Bathroom Soft Sheen 2.5L in Egyptian Cotton brings a warm, soft, creamy neutral beige with a subtle warm undertone to your bathroom. Egyptian Cotton (colour code 40YY 65/061, LRV 66%) is one of Dulux's most popular neutrals. It went viral on TikTok, reportedly driving a 33% sales increase, with Dulux's creative director calling it "the perfect neutral colour that makes everything you have in your home look coordinated no matter what your style is." In warm artificial light it takes on a raw cashmere warmth, while cool north-facing daylight brings out its soft grey undertones, making it a versatile choice for bathrooms, hallways, stairs and landings. This Bathroom Soft Sheen formula is built specifically for wet rooms, adding moisture and steam resistance on top of Dulux's tough Easycare technology.
