# Dulux Calm Sea

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/calm-sea](https://plan-home.com/color/calm-sea)

Dulux Calm Sea is a pale blue-grey with a lightly cool cast and a soft, misted appearance. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly blue, so it can feel closer to a clean grey in bright daylight while showing more of its blue tone in shaded rooms or under cooler bulbs. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or living room walls where a light backdrop is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Calm Sea pairs well with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal accents for definition. It can also suit painted cabinetry in a light-filled kitchen, especially alongside warm wood or off-white worktops.
