What color is Dulux Bracken Salts 2?
Dulux Bracken Salts 2 30YY 39/225 is a muted mid-tone tan with a clear yellow-brown base, close to the earthy look of sun-dried sand or weathered straw. Its #BBA17B value gives it gentle warmth without making it read overly golden, while the softened saturation keeps the color grounded on large wall areas. In bright daylight, this shade can appear lighter and more honeyed; under warmer artificial light, its brown notes become more noticeable. Bracken Salts 2 suits living rooms, hallways, and dining spaces, particularly alongside off-white trim, clay-toned textiles, dark wood, rattan, and aged brass. For contrast, pair it with muted olive greens, charcoal, or deep blue-grey accents rather than crisp cool whites.
