What color is Dulux Midnight Iris 6?

It has very low saturation, so it reads as a soft neutral rather than a pronounced colored shade.

Use it in living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, or ceilings where a quiet, understated finish is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim for subtle definition, or introduce charcoal, black metal, pale oak, and muted textiles for more contrast.
