What color is Dulux Hawaiian Blue 3?

Dulux Hawaiian Blue 3 is a deep, saturated blue-green with a distinctly cool, oceanic cast. Its strong teal undertone keeps it brighter and clearer than a traditional navy, while the depth of the color gives it enough weight for a feature wall or painted cabinetry. In daylight, it reads as a crisp blue teal; under warmer evening lighting, the green side can appear more noticeable. Pair it with clean white trim, pale grey stone, light oak, or brushed brass for contrast. It is especially effective in bathrooms, kitchens, home offices, or on a front door where a confident hit of color is wanted.
