What color is Dulux Bracken Salts 6?

Dulux Bracken Salts 6 40YY 83/064 is a pale, softly yellowed off-white with a creamy beige cast. Its high lightness keeps walls bright without the starkness of a pure white, while the modest saturation gives it more presence than a standard builder’s neutral. In daylight, this color reads as a gentle warm ivory; under warmer lamps, its buttery undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and kitchens where a light backdrop is wanted with a little natural warmth. Pair Bracken Salts 6 with oak, linen, rattan, muted clay tones, or deep olive and charcoal accents for definition.
