What color is Dulux Celtic Forest 1?

Dulux Celtic Forest 1 90YY 22/220 is a muted olive-khaki with a distinctly earthy yellow cast and a mid-to-deep visual weight. Its softened, low-saturation character keeps the color from reading too green, giving it a weathered, natural look on broad walls. In brighter daylight, Celtic Forest 1 can appear more olive and slightly drier, while warm artificial light brings forward its brownish-gold undertone. It suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, or kitchen cabinetry, particularly alongside chalky off-whites, clay tones, blackened metal, and oak or walnut. Use it as an all-over wall color where a grounded backdrop is wanted, or on joinery for a quieter alternative to dark charcoal.
