What color is Dulux Caramel Cream?
Dulux Caramel Cream 10YY 41/175 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable warm, golden-brown cast. Its #BEA488 color value gives it an earthy, slightly dusty appearance rather than the brightness of a pale cream. On walls, Caramel Cream can add gentle depth to living rooms, hallways, or bedrooms, especially alongside off-white trim and natural oak. It pairs well with linen, rattan, aged brass, terracotta, and deeper brown accents. Cooler daylight may make the shade appear more neutral and subdued, while warm lamps tend to bring forward its honeyed undertones.
