What color is Dulux Nordic Sky?

Dulux Nordic Sky 69BG 40/190 is a mid-tone blue with a noticeable blue-green cast, softened by a gently muted finish. Its cool character reads clean rather than icy, making it a useful option for bedrooms, bathrooms, or a calm home office. In bright daylight, the green-blue aspect is likely to appear clearer, while lower light can make the color feel deeper and more subdued. Use it across full walls for a defined but not overpowering look, or on cabinetry paired with pale oak, brushed nickel, and off-white surfaces. Warm clay accents, sandy beige textiles, or soft charcoal details can add contrast without competing with this shade.
