What color is Dulux Holiday Blues 5?

Dulux Holiday Blues 5 89BG 70/116 is a pale, cool blue with a soft blue-green cast and a lightly muted finish. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle saturation prevents it from reading as overly sweet or icy. In north-facing rooms, this shade can appear crisper and slightly grayer; warmer afternoon light brings out more of its clean aqua-blue character. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, utility spaces, and light-filled kitchens, especially alongside white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or honed stone. For contrast, pair Holiday Blues 5 with deep navy, charcoal, or dark green accents rather than another mid-blue.
