What color is Dulux Electric Blue?

Dulux Electric Blue is a bright blue-green with a clear cyan cast, based on its #00A1AD color value. It reads cool and lively rather than dark or inky, bringing noticeable color to a room without the heaviness of a deep navy. On a feature wall, it can sharpen a white bathroom, laundry, or contemporary kitchen; on cabinetry, it makes a particularly crisp contrast with pale stone and brushed nickel. Pair Electric Blue with clean white, soft grey, light oak, or sandy beige to keep its vivid tone in focus. In lower light, its blue-green character may appear slightly deeper and more muted than it does in direct daylight.
