Dulux Midnight Iris 2 90BB 32/126 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable grey cast and a soft violet lean. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, giving walls a calm, gently shadowed appearance. In cooler daylight, Midnight Iris 2 can look more blue-grey, while warmer lamps may bring out its subtle lavender undertone. 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.
