What color is Dulux California Days?

Dulux California Days 25YY 61/452 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a noticeable apricot-orange cast. Its high lightness keeps the color open and airy, while the medium saturation gives it more presence than a pale cream. In bright daylight, California Days reads as a clear buttery gold; under warm artificial light, its peachier undertones become more apparent. It suits kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, and front doors where a cheerful, grounded color is wanted. Pair it with soft off-whites, muted terracotta, natural oak, woven cane, or deep olive accents to give its warmth definition.
