What color is Dulux Blue Seduction 1?

Dulux Blue Seduction 1 45BB 22/347 is a clear mid-tone blue with a gently muted quality that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its cool blue base can appear a little cleaner in daylight, while warmer artificial lighting may bring out a softer, slightly grayer cast. Blue Seduction 1 has enough depth for a full wall in a bedroom, study, or bathroom, especially when balanced with crisp white trim. It also makes a confident choice for kitchen cabinetry or a painted front door. Pair it with pale gray, chalky off-white, light oak, brushed nickel, or natural linen for a grounded finish.
