What color is Dulux Spring Crocus?
Dulux Spring Crocus 70BB 27/201 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable grey cast and a soft violet-leaning depth. Its cool character is clear, but the lowered saturation keeps it from feeling sharp or overly bright. In north-facing rooms, Spring Crocus can read as a calm blue-grey, while warmer daylight may bring out its gentle periwinkle quality. It is well suited to bedroom walls, a study, or painted cabinetry where a little color is wanted without dominating the room. Pair it with chalky white, pale stone, charcoal accents, and light oak or brushed nickel for a grounded finish.
