What color is Dulux Wild Water 6?

Dulux Wild Water 6 30BB 72/045 is a pale, low-saturation blue-grey with a lightly cool cast. Its soft grey base keeps the blue understated, so it reads as airy rather than obviously pastel. In bright daylight, Wild Water 6 can appear cleaner and slightly bluer, while lower or warmer artificial light brings out its muted grey character. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and north-facing living spaces where a light wall color can prevent the room from feeling heavy. Pair it with crisp white trim, weathered oak, brushed nickel, charcoal accents, or deeper slate-blue textiles for definition.
