What color is Dulux Morning Jewel 1?

Dulux Morning Jewel 1 50BB 11/216 is a deep, muted blue with a cool, slightly softened cast rather than a bright nautical look. Its mid-to-dark depth gives walls clear presence, especially in studies, dining rooms, hallways, or bedrooms with good natural light. In brighter conditions, the blue reads cleaner and more open; under warm evening lighting, it can appear richer and more subdued. Morning Jewel 1 suits cabinetry, a painted fireplace surround, or a full accent wall, paired with crisp off-whites, pale grey-blue tones, natural oak, and brushed nickel. For contrast, bring in warm clay, cognac leather, or muted terracotta through textiles and accessories.
