What color is Dulux Clear Skies?

Dulux Clear Skies 43BG 75/043 is a pale blue-grey with a softly muted, misty appearance. Its blue-green cast keeps it cool, while the high lightness prevents it from feeling heavy on broad walls. In daylight, Clear Skies can read as an airy washed blue; under warmer lamps, its grey base is likely to become more noticeable. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and north-facing rooms where a light reflective color can help brighten the surfaces. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or deeper slate-blue accents for a clean, considered scheme.
