What color is Dulux Moon Waves 4?

Dulux Moon Waves 4 is a light blue-grey with a gently cool cast and a soft, muted finish. Its low saturation keeps it from reading as overtly blue, so it can feel clean and airy on broad walls without becoming stark. In north-facing or shaded rooms, the grey side may be more noticeable, while brighter daylight brings out its quiet blue tint. Use it in bedrooms, bathrooms, or a light-filled home office alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details. It also makes a calm cabinetry color when paired with warm white walls and natural stone.
