# Dulux Borrowed Blue

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/borrowed-blue](https://plan-home.com/color/borrowed-blue)

Dulux Borrowed Blue 90BG 72/063 is a light, cool blue with a noticeable grey cast, giving it a softly muted appearance rather than a bright pastel look. Its pale value keeps rooms feeling open, while the blue remains clear enough to read on larger wall areas. In daylight, this shade can appear airy and lightly blue; under warmer artificial lighting, its grey side may become more pronounced. Borrowed Blue suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing living spaces where a calm, low-contrast wall color is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, weathered timber, brushed nickel, or deeper charcoal-blue accents for definition.
