What color is Dulux Celestial Blue 6?

Dulux Celestial Blue 6 70BG 47/182 is a light-to-mid blue with a noticeable blue-green cast, giving it the look of softened coastal water rather than a pure sky blue. Its moderate brightness keeps it visible on larger walls without becoming overly intense, while the cool undertone can read crisper in bright daylight. In lower or warmer artificial light, Celestial Blue 6 may appear slightly more muted and greyed. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, sunrooms, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white, pale oak, brushed nickel, or natural linen. For contrast, pair this shade with deep navy accents or charcoal details rather than overly bright colors.
