What color is Dulux Fresh Surf?

Dulux Fresh Surf is a pale, cool blue with a lightly softened aqua cast, giving it a clean, airy appearance without looking overly icy. Its high lightness makes it well suited to smaller bathrooms, laundry rooms, bedrooms, or ceilings where a brighter visual lift is welcome. In daylight, Fresh Surf shows its blue-green character more clearly; under warm artificial lighting, it can appear gentler and slightly more muted. Pair it with crisp white trim for a fresh contrast, or use pale oak, light stone, and brushed nickel to keep the scheme calm and contemporary. This shade is especially effective across broad walls, where its subtle color can be appreciated without dominating the room.
