Hello friends and welcome back!

I’m Bozica, a qualified interior designer and colour specialist, and in today’s post, I’m reviewing a gorgeous Dulux neutral: Milton Moon. This soft, elegant grey with a blue undertone is incredibly versatile—but only if you pair it with the right colours!

Whether you're planning to use Milton Moon inside your home or as part of your exterior colour scheme, this guide will help you avoid costly mistakes and create a cohesive look.

🔍 What is Milton Moon?

• Undertone: Grey with a blue undertone

• LRV: 50 – it has depth, so best for individual rooms, not large open spaces

• Where to use:

  • Internally in bedrooms, offices, or media rooms

  • Externally on facades, render, and feature walls

🧱 Perfect Interior Pairings

If you're using Milton Moon indoors, it's a dream with the right whites. Here are some perfect whites to pair with it:

• Lexicon – crisp white with a blue undertone

• Lexicon Half

• Lexicon Quarter

• Vivid White

• White on White – lightest with a hint of blue undertone

📝 Tip: Always compare paint colours to a true white like Vivid White to detect undertones!

🍽 Using Milton Moon in Kitchens

If you’re renovating a kitchen and love cooler neutrals, Milton Moon works beautifully with stones like Caesarstone Calacatta Nuvo or similar styles with a soft blue undertone. Just ensure:

• Your splashback, stone, and tiles have the same undertone

• Use crisp whites or cool whites for cabinetry

🏡 Exterior Colour Combinations

For a gorgeous exterior scheme, use a monochromatic palette with Milton Moon as your hero colour. Here's a proven combo:

Light to Mid Tones:

• Avalanche Creek – soft and welcoming for entryways

• Tranquil Retreat – a popular cool grey that complements Milton Moon

• Milton Moon – for the main facade

• Colorbond Shale Grey – perfect match for downpipes, facias, and trims

🎨 Important: Downpipes should always match your wall colour for a seamless look!

Darker Accents:

• Timeless Grey – beautiful for window moldings or accent features

• Roof & Windows: Use either black or white depending on your contrast preference

🚫 Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Don’t mix warm and cool undertones

• Stick to 2–3 exterior colours max

• Avoid “guessing”—always test with large samples and compare in different lighting

• Ensure all fixed elements like stone, roof, and windows align in tone
