What color is Dulux Bluebird Skies?

Dulux Bluebird Skies 90BG 50/157 is a light, softened blue with a noticeable blue-green cast and a gently muted finish. Its cool character is clear, though the mid-light depth keeps it from looking icy or overly crisp on large walls. In bright daylight, this color can appear cleaner and airier, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its greyed, slightly dusty quality. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a pale blue backdrop is wanted without a sugary pastel effect. Pair Bluebird Skies with chalky whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft charcoal for a restrained, contemporary scheme.
