What color is Dulux Holiday Blues 1?

Dulux Holiday Blues 1 99BG 26/393 is a vivid mid-tone blue with a clear cyan cast, sitting closer to bright pool blue than to navy or denim. Its high saturation gives walls a crisp, energetic presence, particularly in rooms with strong daylight. Under cooler artificial light, the blue can read sharper and cleaner, while warmer bulbs may bring out a slightly greener edge. Use it as an accent wall, on painted cabinetry, or for a front door where its intensity has room to stand out. Pair Holiday Blues 1 with clean white, pale grey, light natural wood, or charcoal details to give the color a grounded contrast.
