What color is Dulux Electric Storm?

Dulux Electric Storm is a clear, saturated blue with a noticeable cyan cast, giving it a crisp, cool appearance. At this mid-depth value, it has enough strength to hold its own on a feature wall, painted front door, or kitchen island without reading overly dark. Bright daylight brings out its clean blue-green edge, while lower or warmer lighting can make it look a little deeper and more marine blue. Pair Electric Storm with chalky whites, pale grey, natural oak, or light stone to keep the contrast fresh and grounded. For a bolder scheme, it can sit well beside coral-toned accents or warm brass hardware.
