If you’re looking for a cool neutral that’s versatile and workable with many colours, Dulux Goose Down is a perfect choice. In fact, it’s one of their most popular colours for walls and ceilings.
This versatile neutral works with a whole host of colours that can make it compatible with Scandic, Modern and Coastal style interiors, to name just a few.
Let’s explore Dulux Goose Down a little bit further, and take a look at what complementary colours go really well with this neutral shade.
Is Dulux Goose Down Grey or Blue?
Dulux Goose Down is considered a cool neutral, light grey. However, it does have blue undertones which can make it appear as both grey, and pale blue in certain lights.
For this reason, ALWAYS buy a tester shade before committing. Try a patch in the room of your choice and look at it at different times during the day, this will demonstrate what it looks like in a real setting with both natural, and artificial light.

What Colours Go With Dulux Goose Down?
Tonal Combinations
It’s always best to start looking tonally at what colours naturally pair with a shade. This helps you to achieve a relaxed, cohesive interior that works in harmony together.
Dulux Goose Down has cool, blue undertones. Pair with Ocean Ripple or Marine Splash for a bolder pop of colour from Dulux. This colour combination would be well suited to a coastal inspired interiors. Introduce these blues with the paint colour, decor accessories, throws and cushions.
This type of colour scheme is so easy to work with too for a coastal affair, introduce rattan accessories and woven throws for an ultra stylish, yet relaxed look.
Neutral Combinations
Neutrals still remain a very dominant colour palette in interiors, they’re easy to dress up and offer a casual flair that looks minimal and elegant. Dulux Goose Down is a perfect match for Cornflower White or Dove Slate.
When you do combine neutrals like this you always need a slightly darker shade that will provide definition in the room such as Dove Slate. Without a defining colour the room will lack a grounding aspect which a decor scheme should centre on.
Designer’s Choice Combinations
Moving away from neutrals can feel daunting if you’re not used to bolder colours, but in choosing a couple of daring shades you can suddenly add much more warmth to a room, and develop a focal point.
Dulux suggests pairing with the likes of Tuscan Terracotta, a beautiful warm orange/brown shade and Sorbet which is a dusky pink shade. You could choose to layer these colours with a few well placed items if you’re not feeling brave enough for a feature wall.
Goose Down & Black
Not only is a black accent a defining characteristic in modern design, as I previously touched on, when you do use a series of neutral colours in your interior scheme, you still need a defining colour to pull the room together.
Be it black or something slightly more muted like a charcoal grey, you only need to use it sparingly for best results. This can include black feet on chairs, wooden knobs, sockets & switches and accents on frames, to name just a few ideas.
Goose Down & White
White is a classic colour that will work seamlessly with most colours, and it looks great with a cool neutral like Goose Down as it can help to lift an interior.
There are 100s of different shades of white on the market. Bright white is great for providing a clean contrast on skirtings or ceilings, but if you want to bring a little bit more warmth in with it, a colour such as Cornflower White and Jasmine White are great white choices from Dulux.
Goose Down & Earthy Green
Earthy Green is one of my favourite tonal representations of green, it’s neutral, it can bring warmth, and when brought together with other neutral shades it creates a beautifully styled interior.
Combining a mixture of grey and earthy green in your interior will create warm and inviting textures. Introduce it with throws, cushions and decor accessories.
