What color is Dulux Velvet Touch 1?

Dulux Velvet Touch 1 30BG 14/248 is a deep blue-green with a clear teal cast, based on its #006E7B color value. Its strong saturation gives it enough presence for a feature wall, painted cabinetry, or a front door rather than a barely-there backdrop. In bright daylight, the blue-green character should read more clearly, while lower light will make the shade appear darker and denser. Pair Velvet Touch 1 with warm white trim, pale oak, brushed brass, or sandy beige textiles to bring contrast to its cool depth. It can also create a crisp, graphic look alongside charcoal, black accents, and clean white tile in kitchens or bathrooms.
