What color is Dulux Citrus Sorbet?

Dulux Citrus Sorbet 62YY 86/253 is a very light, creamy yellow with a soft butter-and-vanilla appearance. Its warm yellow cast is clear but gentle rather than sharp, giving walls a sunlit look without reading as a strong primary yellow. In bright daylight, Citrus Sorbet can appear clean and pale; under warmer evening lighting, its creamy undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, hallways, and children’s spaces where a light-reflecting warm color is wanted. Pair it with warm white trim, pale natural oak, woven textures, or muted green and soft blue accents for contrast.
