Alpine clarity: Dulux Mt Hutt

Luminous, natural, and light: the whites in the Dulux Colours of New Zealand range have become timeless favourites. These tried and tested colours have been used by architects and designers for over 20 years, and the newest white is equally as alluring: Dulux Mt Hutt.

In the world of whites, subtlety is everything, and Dulux Mt Hutt gets the balance just right. It’s a chalky neutral white, named for the snow-dusted peaks of Canterbury, offering a softness that doesn’t tip into cream. This tonal restraint is what makes it so versatile — equally at home on interior walls as it is on weatherboards, as pictured above, where it’s paired with Dulux Colorsteel® Ironsand to create a beautiful contemporary contrast.

Capturing the pristine clarity of the alpine environment, it’s warm without being weighty, crisp without being austere: an understated presence that allows materials, light, and texture to take centre stage.

Now forming an integral part of the wider range of whites, it finds its place alongside the popular neutral white of Dulux Cardrona, the cool bright white of Dulux Ōkārito (pictured below), the crispness of Dulux Mt Aspiring with its subtle grey undertones, and the warm and bright Dulux Sandfly Point.
