Dulux Easycare Kitchen Matt 2.5L - Egyptian Cotton

Dulux Easycare Kitchen Matt 2.5L in Egyptian Cotton brings a warm, soft, creamy neutral beige with a subtle warm undertone to your kitchen walls. Colour code 40YY 65/061 (approx. hex #D9D2C5, LRV 66%), Egyptian Cotton went viral on TikTok for its ability to coordinate with almost any decor style, and Dulux's creative director has called it "the perfect neutral colour that makes everything you have in your home look coordinated no matter what your style is." Kitchen Matt is formulated specifically for kitchens, adding grease-resistance for cooking splashes on top of the Easycare range's toughness and stain-repellent technology.
