# Dulux Delft China

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/delft-china](https://plan-home.com/color/delft-china)

Dulux Delft China 79BG 53/259 is a clear, light blue with a noticeable aqua cast that keeps it crisp rather than powdery. Its cool character is especially apparent in daylight, where the blue-green notes look fresh and clean; under warmer evening lighting, it can appear softer and slightly less bright. This shade suits bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms, and light-filled bedrooms where a clean colour on the walls can open up the space. Pair Delft China with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed chrome, or sandy beige textiles to offset its coolness. It also makes a neat choice for painted cabinetry or a front door when a brighter blue accent is wanted without going too dark.
