What color is Dulux Liberty Blue 3?

Dulux Liberty Blue 3 70BG 46/156 is a light, softened blue with a noticeable green cast that gives it a clean aqua-blue appearance. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the muted saturation prevents it from reading overly bright or tropical. In daylight, this shade can show its fresh blue-green side more clearly; under warmer artificial light, it may appear a little quieter and greyer. Use Liberty Blue 3 in bathrooms, bedrooms, laundry rooms, or sunlit kitchens, pairing it with crisp white trim, pale oak, light stone, and brushed nickel. It also makes a calm choice for painted cabinetry or a front door when a gentle wash of color is preferred over a deep navy.
