What color is Dulux Ocean Ripple?

Dulux Ocean Ripple is a very pale blue-green with a cool, lightly minted cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, where it reads more like a washed aqua than a pronounced pastel. In bright daylight, the blue-green character is clearest; under warm artificial lighting, it can appear softer and closer to a muted off-white with a hint of color. Use it in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, or light-filled bedrooms where a clean, fresh wall color is wanted without strong contrast. Pair Ocean Ripple with crisp white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, soft grey textiles, or deeper teal accents for definition.
