Dulux Californian Sands 3 38YY 81/256

Dulux Californian Sands 3 38YY 81/256 is a light, sunny yellow with a clear golden-peach cast. Its high brightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the warm saturation gives it more presence than a cream or off-white. In direct daylight, this shade can read as clean and buttery; under warmer evening bulbs, its soft apricot notes become more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, children’s spaces, and north-facing rooms that benefit from a little visual warmth. Pair Californian Sands 3 with chalky white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibres, or muted blue-grey accents for contrast.
