What color is Dulux Faded Indigo?
Dulux Faded Indigo 90BG 17/090 is a muted, mid-dark blue-grey with a gently weathered, slate-like cast. Its low saturation keeps the color grounded, so it feels less bright than a classic blue and more nuanced than a standard grey. In clear daylight, the blue tone is more noticeable, while evening light can make it appear deeper and greyer. Use it on a study wall, kitchen cabinetry, or a front door where its depth can provide definition without looking stark. Pair Faded Indigo with soft off-whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, and warm clay or putty accents to bring out its restrained blue character.
