What color is Dulux Marble Swirl 1?

Dulux Marble Swirl 1 90BB 14/242 is a muted mid-to-deep blue with a noticeable violet cast and a soft greyed finish. Its cool character gives it presence without reading as overly bright, making it well suited to studies, bedrooms, or a focused dining room.

Pair it with crisp off-whites, pale grey stone, weathered oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, grounded scheme. It has enough depth for full walls, but also makes a strong choice for cabinetry, interior doors, or a painted bookcase.
