What color is Dulux Frosted Lake?
Dulux Frosted Lake is a pale, muted blue-grey with a distinctly cool cast and soft, low-saturation finish. The #B4C6D4 tone reads clean and lightly misty in daylight, while evening light can bring out its quieter grey side. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing living rooms where a gentle cool color can keep walls from feeling heavy. Pair Frosted Lake with crisp off-whites, charcoal details, pale oak, or brushed nickel for a restrained, contemporary look. On cabinetry or built-ins, this shade provides subtle definition without appearing overly blue.
