What color is Dulux Petal Perfection?

Dulux Petal Perfection 80BB 49/174 is a light, muted blue with a gentle lavender cast that keeps it from feeling stark or icy. Its soft greyed quality makes it well suited to bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet living areas where a pale color is wanted without the brightness of a clear pastel. In daylight, Petal Perfection shows its cool blue character most clearly, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out its silvery lilac undertone. Pair it with crisp white trim for a cleaner look, or with pale oak, brushed nickel, and soft stone finishes for a more layered scheme. It is especially effective across full walls, though it could also give fitted cabinetry or a painted ceiling a subtle wash of color.
