What color is Dulux Wild Water 2?

Dulux Wild Water 2 30BB 18/190 is a medium, muted blue with a noticeable grey cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its cool blue character can read a little deeper and smokier in north-facing rooms or low evening light, while daylight brings out its softened blue tone. Use it on bedroom or study walls for clear color without the intensity of a vivid navy. Wild Water 2 also suits painted cabinetry, especially alongside pale oak, brushed nickel, white marble, or warm off-white walls. For contrast, pair this shade with clay-toned accents, soft sand textiles, or crisp white trim.
