What color is Dulux Azure Sky 6?

Dulux Azure Sky 6 55BG 74/117 is a light, cool blue with a clean aqua cast, shown here as #C3E1E9. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the blue-green undertone gives it more presence than a plain pale blue. In daylight, Azure Sky 6 should read fresh and clear; under warmer artificial lighting, its coolness may soften slightly. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or a light-filled kitchen, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft grey textiles. For contrast, pair this shade with deeper slate blue, charcoal, or muted navy accents rather than overly bright colors.
