# Dulux First Dawn

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/first-dawn](https://plan-home.com/color/first-dawn)

Dulux First Dawn is a light, softly muted blue with a clear cool cast and a gentle hint of blue-green beneath it. Its pale value keeps it airy rather than icy, especially on broad walls where the color reads as a washed, daylight blue. In bright natural light, First Dawn can appear cleaner and slightly more blue, while evening or shaded rooms bring out its quieter greyed quality. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing living spaces, paired with crisp white trim, pale oak, light stone, or brushed nickel. For contrast, use deeper navy accents or charcoal details rather than heavily warm, yellow-toned finishes.
