Frosted Steel
Frosted Steel is a blue paint color from Dulux, but its character reaches beyond a single label. Its cool classification gives it a crisper edge that may become clearer beside warm timber, cream or brass. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
