What color is Dulux Inky Pool 5?

Dulux Inky Pool 5 10BG 63/120 is a light, softened blue-green with a distinctly cool cast and a gentle wash of grey in its appearance. Its pale value keeps it airy on larger walls, while the noticeable turquoise tint gives it more presence than a standard off-white or faint blue. In daylight, this color can read as a clean watery blue-green; under warmer artificial light, its cooler undertone may become more subdued and muted. It suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, coastal-style bedrooms, or painted cabinetry where a fresh but not overly bright finish is wanted. Pair Inky Pool 5 with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or warm sandy neutrals to give the blue-green tone a clear contrast.
