What color is Dulux River Valley?

Dulux River Valley 50BG 44/094 is a muted blue-grey with a soft blue-green cast, sitting at a comfortable mid-light depth. Its low-key saturation keeps it from reading overly coastal or icy, giving walls a gently weathered, mineral-like appearance. In bright daylight, the blue notes become clearer, while lower or warmer light can bring forward its grey, slightly greened base. Use River Valley in bathrooms, bedrooms, or quiet living areas alongside warm white trim, pale oak, limestone, and brushed nickel. For contrast, pair it with charcoal, deep navy, or a muted clay-toned accent.
