What color is Dulux Pen Friend?

Dulux Pen Friend 62BB 08/369 is a deep, saturated blue with a subtle blue-green cast that keeps it from reading as a flat navy. Its strong depth makes it especially effective on a feature wall, built-in shelving, kitchen cabinetry, or a front door. In bright daylight, the color shows its clearer blue character, while evening light draws out its darker, inkier side. Pair Pen Friend with crisp white trim for contrast, or soften it with pale oak, warm brass, tan leather, and muted clay-toned textiles. In larger rooms, it is best balanced with light flooring and generous natural light.
