What color is Dulux Buttered Corn?

Dulux Buttered Corn 39YY 78/329 is a light, creamy yellow with a distinctly warm cast and a soft, sunlit appearance. Its high brightness keeps the color airy rather than heavy, while the yellow remains clear enough to read as more than an off-white. In daylight, Buttered Corn can make north-facing rooms feel less stark; under warm evening bulbs, it takes on a richer golden-cream tone. It suits kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, or painted cabinetry where a gentle dose of color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, muted sage, or soft clay accents to keep the palette grounded.
