What color is Dulux Subzero Blue?
Dulux Subzero Blue 50BB 08/257 is a deep, cool-toned blue with a muted, slightly smoky cast rather than a bright navy finish. Its substantial depth gives walls a grounded look, while the blue remains clear enough to hold its character in daylight. In bright rooms, Subzero Blue can read as a softened medium-dark blue; under lower or warmer lighting, it takes on a more inky, shadowed appearance. Use it on a study wall, dining room cabinetry, or an exterior door where a strong color is wanted without high saturation. Crisp white trim, pale grey-blue textiles, natural oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents suit this shade particularly well.

LRV of Subzero Blue
Subzero Blue has an LRV of 8.24% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 8.24%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
