What color is Dulux Velvet Touch 6?

Dulux Velvet Touch 6 30BG 72/069 is a light, muted blue-green with a soft grey cast that keeps it from feeling overly sweet or bright. Its high lightness makes it a useful wall color for bathrooms, bedrooms, and airy living spaces where a cool, clean backdrop is wanted. In daylight, the pale aqua note is more noticeable, while lower or warmer artificial light can draw out its gentle greyed quality. Velvet Touch 6 pairs well with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and deeper blue-green accents. Use it across full walls for a quiet wash of color, or on cabinetry in a light-filled room for a subtle change from white.
