# Dulux Buttercup Cloud

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/buttercup-cloud](https://plan-home.com/color/buttercup-cloud)

Dulux Buttercup Cloud is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft, sunlit cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, where it can read as a gentle vanilla tone in cooler daylight and show more buttery warmth under evening lamps. This shade suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and north-facing spaces that benefit from a little visual warmth. Pair it with warm whites, light oak, woven natural fibres, or muted sage green for an easy, grounded palette. Buttercup Cloud can also bring a quiet lift to painted cabinetry or a small accent area without making the room feel intensely yellow.
