# Dulux Deepest Amethyst

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/deepest-amethyst](https://plan-home.com/color/deepest-amethyst)

Dulux Deepest Amethyst 81BB 12/269 is a muted, medium-dark blue with a noticeable grey cast and a subtle indigo direction. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading as bright navy, giving walls a grounded, slightly smoky appearance. In daylight, this color shows its cool blue character more clearly, while lower light makes it appear deeper and more shadowed. Use it on a study wall, built-in cabinetry, or a dining room for definition without an overly dramatic finish. Soft chalky whites, pale stone, warm oak, aged brass, and charcoal-toned textiles make considered companions.
