What color is Dulux Atlantic Surf 3?

Dulux Atlantic Surf 3 30BB 27/236 is a mid-tone blue with a softened, slightly muted appearance rather than a sharp primary-blue intensity. Its #6790B3 value gives it a cool blue character with enough greyed depth to feel grounded on larger wall areas. In bright daylight, Atlantic Surf 3 can read clearer and airier, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its more subdued blue-grey side. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, home offices, or painted cabinetry where a calm but noticeable dose of color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim for contrast, pale oak or ash wood for warmth, and charcoal, slate, or brushed nickel accents for a restrained finish.
