What color is Dulux Niagara Blues 6?

Dulux Niagara Blues 6 10BB 73/026 is a very light, low-saturation blue-grey with a soft, misty cast. Its high lightness keeps walls looking open and airy, while the subtle coolness gives it more character than a plain off-white. In daylight, Niagara Blues 6 reads as a clean pale grey with a faint blue influence; warmer evening lighting can make it appear gentler and slightly more neutral. It is well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and quiet living spaces where a pale wall color is wanted without stark brightness. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, charcoal details, or deeper slate-blue accents for a restrained, layered scheme.
