What color is Dulux Butterscotch Syrup?

Dulux Butterscotch Syrup 28YY 62/321 is a light, warm yellow-beige with a clear golden cast and a softly muted finish.

It suits kitchens, dining rooms, and north-facing living spaces where a little visual warmth is welcome. Pair Butterscotch Syrup with chalky whites, natural oak, woven textures, or deeper olive and clay accents for contrast.
