Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/inky-pool-3](https://plan-home.com/color/inky-pool-3)

Dulux Inky Pool 3 10BG 39/169 is a mid-tone blue-green with a softened, slightly greyed cast that keeps it from looking overly bright. Its cool character is clear, though the muted saturation gives it an easy, lived-in appearance on larger walls. In daylight, this shade reads as a calm teal-blue; under warmer lamps, its green side becomes more noticeable. It suits bathrooms, bedrooms, and home offices where a composed wash of color is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair Inky Pool 3 with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or sandy beige textiles for contrast, or use it with deeper navy accents for a more layered scheme.
