What color is Dulux Inky Pool 2?

Dulux Inky Pool 2 10BG 22/195 is a mid-depth blue-green with a gently muted, mineral quality. Its balance of teal-blue and green keeps it cool without reading icy, while the softened saturation makes it easier to live with than a sharper turquoise. In bright natural light, this color can appear clearer and slightly bluer; under warmer lamps, its green cast is likely to feel more noticeable. Use Inky Pool 2 on cabinetry, a study wall, or a bathroom vanity where its depth can define the room without making every surface feel dark. Pair it with chalky white, pale grey, warm oak, brushed nickel, or dark charcoal for a clean, grounded scheme.
