Dulux Fragrant Cloud 5 70BB 74/040 is a very light, low-saturation blue-grey with a faint violet cast. Its high lightness keeps walls looking airy, while the cool undertone gives it more definition than a plain off-white. In daylight, Fragrant Cloud 5 reads as a clean, misty grey-blue; under warm artificial light, it can appear softer and closer to a pale silvery grey. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and light-filled living rooms, especially on broad wall areas or painted cabinetry. Pair it with crisp white trim, charcoal details, pale oak, brushed nickel, or deeper inky blue accents for contrast.
