What color is Dulux Inky Pool 4?

Dulux Inky Pool 4 10BG 54/152 is a light blue-green with a clear, cool cast and enough color to read beyond a neutral. Its soft cyan character can look slightly bluer in north-facing rooms, while warmer daylight may draw out its green edge. Use it on bathroom or laundry walls for a clean wash of color, or on kitchen cabinetry where it can sit neatly beside pale stone worktops. Crisp white trim keeps the look fresh, while light oak, brushed nickel, charcoal, and muted clay accents give it more contrast.
