What color is Dulux Marble Swirl 4?

Dulux Marble Swirl 4 90BB 46/132 is a soft, muted blue-grey with a noticeable lavender cast. Its mid-light depth gives walls gentle color without making a room feel dark, while the low saturation keeps the look quiet rather than icy. In north-facing or cool artificial light, the blue notes are likely to appear clearer; warmer daylight can bring out its greyed, slightly violet side. Marble Swirl 4 suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and calm living areas, especially alongside off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details. For contrast, pair this shade with warm putty neutrals or muted clay accents rather than bright whites or highly saturated colors.
