What color is Dulux Ocean Stone?

Dulux Ocean Stone 90BG 42/106 is a muted mid-tone blue-grey with a cool, softly weathered appearance. Its gentle grey cast keeps the blue from feeling bright, making it well suited to living rooms, bedrooms, or a study where stronger color would feel distracting. In daylight, this shade can read as a clear dusty blue, while warmer evening lighting may draw out its quieter grey side. Pair it with crisp off-whites, pale oak, brushed nickel, and charcoal details for a clean, grounded scheme. Ocean Stone also has enough presence for cabinetry or a painted feature wall without making the surface feel overly dark.
