Dulux Snow Season Review: How to Use This Soft Blue-Grey for a Timeless Interior or Exterior
Hello friends and welcome!
I’m Bozica, a qualified interior designer and colour specialist. Today, I’m sharing one of my absolute favourite colours—Dulux Snow Season.
If you’re currently renovating, decorating or building from scratch and want help with DIY colour selection or choosing the right neutral, this review will guide you through it all—from undertones to perfect white pairings and colour schemes that actually work.
🎨 What Is Dulux Snow Season?
Undertone: Grey with a soft blue base
LRV: 65 – bright enough to reflect light, but with depth
Ideal for: Open-plan living, bedrooms, cabinetry, and exteriors
Interior & exterior use: Yes – flexible and elegant
🎯 Always compare any neutral to Vivid White (pure white) to clearly see the undertone. In this case, the blue undertone in Snow Season becomes very noticeable—and very beautiful.
✅ Why Snow Season Works So Well in Homes
With an LRV of 65, Snow Season reflects a lot of natural light, making it a great choice for:
Open space living areas
Full wall colour in bedrooms, kitchens, or laundries
Kitchen cabinetry – works especially well with blue-based stone benchtops
Exterior walls when you want a soft, elegant grey tone
This colour is timeless, and that’s why I love it. Trends come and go, but when a colour works with the fixed elements in your home and feels like you—it becomes truly classic.
✅ The Best Whites to Pair with Dulux Snow Season
Because this is a cool grey with a blue undertone, it pairs best with cool whites or pure whites.
Top white paint options:
Vivid White – pure, no undertone, ideal for trims and ceilings
Lexicon Quarter – light, cool white with a hint of blue
Lexicon Half – deeper version, great for skirtings or paneling
White on White – a soft cool white that adds elegance
📝 Tip: I often recommend Vivid White for architraves and skirtings because it’s crisp and works with any future colour scheme you might add.
🏠 Interior Colour Schemes Using Snow Season
Let’s say you’ve found a stone with a grey-blue undertone. Perfect—Snow Season will work beautifully with it.
Here’s how to build a full colour palette around it:
Walls: Snow Season
Cabinetry or trims: Lexicon Quarter or Vivid White
Flooring: Pale oak, warm grey tiles, or even stone with cool flecks
Soft furnishings: Dusty blue, soft sage, navy, brushed brass, or silver accents
Textures: Linen, boucle, woven rugs, sheer curtains
🎯 Build your mood board early. You must test and see how your tile, benchtop, flooring, and paint all work together before you commit.
🧱 Can You Use Dulux Snow Season Outside?
Yes—and it’s stunning. On exteriors, Snow Season will appear 2–3 shades lighter in full sun, and its soft blue undertone will come through clearly.
Exterior styling tips:
Match with: Vivid White or Lexicon Quarter for trims, windows, fascia
Avoid: Mixing multiple undertones (e.g., violet-based greys with blue-based ones)
Roof, gutters, fascia: Choose tones with the same blue undertone (Colorbond Surfmist or Shale Grey can work)
Use no more than 2–3 exterior colours to keep it timeless and clean
⚠️ Exterior selections are costly and permanent—always choose ONE undertone and stick with it. Never mix multiple neutral bases.
🚫 Common Mistake to Avoid
A reminder I always share with my clients and students:
Paint is the LAST thing you choose, not the first.
You must first look at your:
Tiles
Benchtops
Flooring
Fixed cabinetry
Window colour
Only once you understand what undertone exists in those elements can you safely select a neutral paint like Snow Season. That’s why so many homes go wrong—they skip this step.
