What color is Dulux Midnight Iris 2?

Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, giving walls a calm, gently shadowed appearance.

It suits bedrooms, studies, and living rooms, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal textiles. Use this shade across full walls for a quiet backdrop, or on cabinetry and a single feature wall where its muted colour can add definition without dominating the room.
