What color is Dulux Liberty Blue 5?

Dulux Liberty Blue 5 is a pale, airy blue with a noticeable cool cast and a soft greyed quality that keeps it from looking sugary or overly bright. Its light value makes it especially effective on larger walls, where it can give bedrooms, bathrooms, or quiet living areas a clean, open feel. In strong daylight, the color reads as a fresh powdery blue; under warmer artificial lighting, its muted undertone becomes more apparent. Pair Liberty Blue 5 with crisp white trim, pale oak, light concrete, or brushed nickel for a restrained contemporary look. It also sits nicely beside muted sage greens and deeper charcoal accents when the room needs more contrast.
