# Dulux Soft Periwinkle

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/soft-periwinkle](https://plan-home.com/color/soft-periwinkle)

Dulux Soft Periwinkle 56BB 45/240 is a light-to-mid blue with a cool, gently softened appearance. Its #97B1DA value gives it a clean blue cast that can read a little hazier in warm light and clearer under cooler daylight. Use it on bedroom, bathroom, or home-office walls where a noticeable color is wanted without the weight of a deep navy. Soft Periwinkle pairs well with crisp white trim, pale grey fabrics, brushed nickel, and light oak or ash wood. For more contrast, add charcoal blue accents or darker blue cabinetry rather than introducing overly bright colors.
