# Dulux Moon Waves 5

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/moon-waves-5](https://plan-home.com/color/moon-waves-5)

Dulux Moon Waves 5 is a light, muted blue-grey with a cool, softly powdery appearance. Its low saturation keeps the color understated on large walls, where it reads as a pale grey touched by blue rather than a bright pastel. Clear daylight brings out its blue cast, while warm evening lighting can make the grey element more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and home offices, especially alongside crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details. For cabinetry or an accent wall, Moon Waves 5 pairs well with deeper slate blues and clean off-whites.
