What color is Dulux Summer Medley 6?

Dulux Summer Medley 6 is a light, airy blue with a noticeable cool cast and a gentle aqua lean. Its pale value keeps it crisp rather than heavy, making it well suited to bathrooms, bedrooms, and bright living areas where a clean wash of color is wanted. In strong daylight, this shade can read clearer and slightly bluer, while lower or warmer lighting may soften its icy edge. Pair it with white trim, pale oak, light grey stone, or brushed nickel for a fresh, pared-back finish. It is especially effective across full walls or on cabinetry when the room has enough natural light to show its delicate color.
