# Dulux Inky Pool 6

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/inky-pool-6](https://plan-home.com/color/inky-pool-6)

Dulux Inky Pool 6 10BG 72/080 is a light blue-green with a clean, watery cast and a softly muted finish. Its pale value keeps it airy on broad walls, while the noticeable cyan tint gives it more presence than an off-white or barely-there pastel. In daylight, this color can read fresh and lightly blue; under warmer artificial lighting, its green-blue character may appear gentler and slightly softer. It suits bathrooms, utility rooms, and bedrooms where a cool, clear wall color is wanted without creating a dark backdrop. Pair Inky Pool 6 with crisp white trim, pale oak, light stone, brushed nickel, or charcoal details for contrast.
