What color is Dulux Blue Reflection?

Dulux Blue Reflection is a light, muted blue with a faint blue-green cast and a soft greyed finish. Its low saturation keeps it gentle on large walls, where it reads cooler and cleaner in daylight but can take on a quieter, slightly silvery look under warm artificial lighting. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or light-filled living areas where a pale wash of color is wanted without a sharp, icy effect. Crisp white trim brings out its blue side, while pale oak, brushed nickel, linen, and soft charcoal give it a grounded, practical feel. Blue Reflection also suits painted cabinetry or a ceiling in a small room, adding color without making the space feel visually heavy.
