Dulux Midnight Iris 5 90BB 73/027 is a very light grey with a subtle cool blue cast, visible most clearly beside warmer whites and creams. Its restrained color makes it read nearly neutral in bright daylight, while lower or north-facing light can bring out its faint bluish tone. Use Midnight Iris 5 on bedroom, bathroom, or living-room walls where a clean, softly muted backdrop is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal details for a composed, lightly cool interior.
