What color is Dulux Celestial Blue 5?

Dulux Celestial Blue 5 90BG 29/267 is a clear mid-tone blue with a noticeable blue-green cast, giving it a fresh, lightly coastal appearance without becoming overly pale. Its medium depth lets it hold its color well on larger walls, especially in bathrooms, bedrooms, or a bright home office. In daylight, this shade can read cleaner and more open, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its slightly muted side. Pair Celestial Blue 5 with soft white trim, pale oak, woven natural textures, or charcoal details for contrast. It also makes a confident choice for cabinetry, a painted door, or a single accent wall where a cool color is wanted without the heaviness of navy.
