# Dulux Midnight Iris 1

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/midnight-iris-1](https://plan-home.com/color/midnight-iris-1)

Dulux Midnight Iris 1 90BB 19/165 is a muted, medium-depth blue with grey and soft violet undertones. Its low-key saturation gives it a slightly smoky appearance, rather than a bright or crisp blue finish. In daylight, this color can read as a calm blue-grey, while warmer artificial lighting may bring out more of its violet cast. It suits bedrooms, studies, and living-room walls, especially alongside off-white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal textiles. For a stronger application, Midnight Iris 1 also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a single focal wall.
