What color is Dulux Delicate Cornflower?

Dulux Delicate Cornflower 25BB 32/310 is a clear mid-tone blue with a noticeable cool, slightly cyan-leaning cast. Its moderate saturation gives it enough presence for a full wall without reading as overly bright or sugary. In daylight, this color can appear cleaner and fresher, while warmer artificial lighting may soften its blue character slightly. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, home offices, or painted cabinetry, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale grey, and light oak. For more contrast, pair Delicate Cornflower with deep navy details, charcoal metalwork, or warm terracotta accents.
