What color is Dulux Glacial Spring?

Dulux Glacial Spring 33BG 72/072 is a pale, cool blue-grey with a soft, lightly muted appearance. Its blue cast is clear but restrained, while the grey influence keeps it from reading overly sweet or icy. In bright daylight, this color can look airy and lightly silvered; under warmer evening lamps, it may appear gentler and slightly more neutral. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, utility rooms, and light-filled hallways where a quiet wash of color is wanted without darkening the space. Pair Glacial Spring with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or soft off-whites for a clean, considered interior.
