What color is Dulux Celtic Forest 5?

Dulux Celtic Forest 5 90YY 75/120 is a light, muted yellow-cream with a softly warm cast. Its pale depth keeps it bright enough for broad wall areas, while the low-key color prevents it from reading as a sharp or sugary yellow. In daylight, this shade can appear closer to a gentle off-white with a yellow tint; warmer artificial light is likely to bring out its creamier side. Celtic Forest 5 suits kitchens, dining rooms, and hallways where a lighter backdrop is wanted without using plain white. Pair it with natural oak, woven textures, warm white trim, or restrained accents in olive, clay, and charcoal.
