What color is Dulux Stonewashed Blue?

Dulux Stonewashed Blue 70BG 28/169 is a muted mid-tone blue with a noticeable blue-green cast, reflected in its soft, weathered appearance. Its moderate depth keeps it present on a wall without becoming overly dark, while the restrained saturation prevents it from reading as bright or icy. In north-facing or low-lit rooms, this color can appear cooler and slightly greyer; stronger daylight brings out more of its blue-green character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and studies, as well as painted cabinetry or a feature wall in a lighter neutral room. Pair Stonewashed Blue with chalky off-whites, pale grey-beige tones, light oak, brushed nickel, or dark charcoal accents for clear contrast.
