What color is Dulux Royal Regatta 1?
Dulux Royal Regatta 1 30BB 08/188 is a deep blue with a noticeable blue-green cast, reading close to inky teal in lower light. Its dark value gives walls definition without appearing black, while daylight brings out its cleaner, cooler blue character. Use Royal Regatta 1 on a study, dining room, or north-facing bedroom where a grounded, enveloping wall color is wanted. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a front door, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, brass, and soft tan leather. For contrast, pair this shade with chalky off-whites or muted clay tones rather than bright, icy whites.
