What color is Dulux Viridian Tide?

Dulux Viridian Tide 90BG 08/075 is a deep, muted blue-grey with a subtle green cast that keeps it from reading as a flat navy. Its low brightness gives it a weighty, grounded appearance, especially on broad walls or painted cabinetry. In bright daylight, the blue-green notes are more apparent, while lower light can make this shade look closer to a dark charcoal-blue. Pair it with soft chalky whites, pale grey stone, weathered oak, or brushed nickel for a crisp, considered interior. It is particularly effective in studies, dining rooms, hallways, or as an accent on doors and built-in storage.
