What color is Dulux Banana Dream 5?

Dulux Banana Dream 5 56YY 86/241 is a light, creamy yellow with a clear warm golden cast. Its high brightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the soft yellow presence prevents it from reading as plain off-white. In daylight, Banana Dream 5 can look fresh and buttery; under warmer artificial light, its golden undertone is likely to appear more pronounced. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, children’s spaces, or hallways where a gentle wash of color is wanted without strong saturation. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, and muted blue-grey or leafy green accents for contrast.
