What color is Dulux Celestial Cloud 6?

Dulux Celestial Cloud 6 70BG 72/043 is a pale blue-grey with a softly cool cast and a lightly muted finish. Its high lightness makes it well suited to larger wall areas, where it can give a room a clean, airy backdrop without reading as stark white. In daylight, the blue-grey character is more apparent, while warmer artificial lighting may draw out its gentle grey side. Use it in bathrooms, bedrooms, or north-facing rooms alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details. Celestial Cloud 6 also makes a calm partner for deeper navy accents or dusty green textiles.
