What color is Dulux Moon Waves 6?

Dulux Moon Waves 6 50BB 72/032 is a light, cool blue-grey with a soft, misted appearance. Its low saturation keeps the blue understated, so it can read as a clean pale grey in bright daylight while showing a clearer blue cast in shaded or north-facing rooms. This shade is well suited to bedroom, bathroom, or living-room walls where a quiet, airy backdrop is wanted without using stark white. Pair Moon Waves 6 with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details for a restrained contemporary scheme. It can also give cabinetry or a painted ceiling a subtle lift when balanced with warmer natural textures.
