What color is Dulux Blue Diamond 2?

Dulux Blue Diamond 2 10BG 14/296 is a deep, saturated blue-green with a distinctly cool teal cast. Its strong color depth gives walls a grounded presence, while the green edge keeps it from reading as a straightforward navy. In bright natural light, Blue Diamond 2 shows more of its clear teal character; in lower light, it can appear darker and more blue-led. It is particularly effective on cabinetry, a dining-room wall, or a small powder room where a concentrated color feels intentional. Pair this shade with chalky white, pale stone, warm oak, brushed brass, or blackened metal for contrast that lets its blue-green depth stand out.
