What color is Dulux Venetian Crystal 4?

Dulux Venetian Crystal 4 10BB 22/318 is a clear mid-depth blue with a noticeable cyan cast, giving it a fresh, water-toned appearance rather than a navy or denim look. Its fairly strong saturation lets it hold its own on a feature wall, painted door, or fitted cabinetry. In bright daylight, Venetian Crystal 4 reads crisp and lively, while lower or warmer lighting can make its blue depth feel more pronounced. Pair it with clean white trim, pale grey stone, light oak, or brushed nickel for a restrained scheme, or use warm sand and clay accents to offset its cool character. It is especially effective in bathrooms, utility rooms, contemporary kitchens, and exterior details that benefit from a confident blue.
