What color is Dulux Celestial Blue 3?

Dulux Celestial Blue 3 90BG 14/337 is a deep, saturated blue with a clear blue-green cast, shown here as #007096. Its cool character gives it presence without reading as navy, making it especially effective on a feature wall, painted door, or kitchen island. In bright daylight, the green influence may come forward slightly, while lower light can make the shade appear denser and more blue-led. Pair Celestial Blue 3 with crisp white trim, pale grey, or warm natural timber to keep the colour grounded. Brushed brass, matte black fittings, and off-white ceramics also provide a clean contrast against this strong blue.
