What color is Dulux Venetian Crystal 3?

Dulux Venetian Crystal 3 10BB 13/362 is a deep, saturated blue with a clear cyan cast, giving it a cool, water-like character rather than a violet or navy lean. Its strength makes it especially effective on a feature wall, built-in shelving, kitchen cabinetry, or a front door where the color can hold its own. In bright daylight, the blue-cyan quality is more noticeable; lower light can make Venetian Crystal 3 appear darker and more inky. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale grey, weathered oak, or brushed nickel for a clean contrast, or add warm terracotta and tan leather to offset its coolness.
