What color is Dulux Maldive Dream?

Dulux Maldive Dream 16BG 13/282 is a deep, saturated blue-green with a distinctly cool cast. Its dark teal character gives walls clear definition, especially in bathrooms, dining rooms, or a study where a stronger color can feel intentional rather than overpowering. In brighter light, the blue-green notes become more apparent, while lower light brings out its inky depth. Maldive Dream suits cabinetry, interior doors, and feature walls, paired with crisp white, pale grey, warm oak, or brushed brass for contrast. Use it with natural stone and matte black details for a more architectural finish.
