# Dulux Buttermilk

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

Dulux Buttermilk is a light, creamy beige with a clear yellow warmth that keeps it from reading stark or chalky. Its soft, low-contrast character makes it especially suited to living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a gentle off-white is wanted without the cool cast of many pale neutrals. In bright daylight, the color can appear airy and lightly sunlit, while evening lighting brings out its warmer cream notes. Pair it with natural oak, woven linen, terracotta details, or muted olive green for an earthy interior scheme. Buttermilk also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or trim when paired with deeper warm neutrals rather than crisp blue-based whites.
