What color is Dulux Celtic Forest 2?

Dulux Celtic Forest 2 90YY 35/169 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable yellow-olive cast, softened by a greyed, earthy finish. Its moderate depth gives walls definition without making them feel overly dark, particularly in rooms with good natural light. In brighter daylight, the yellow undertone becomes clearer, while evening light can make this shade read more subdued and khaki-like. It suits studies, kitchens, hallways, and garden-facing rooms, where its grounded character pairs well with oak, aged brass, linen, and natural stone. For contrast, try it alongside warm off-whites or deeper charcoal brown accents.
