What color is Dulux Dutch Gold 2?

Dulux Dutch Gold 2 10YY 42/460 is a warm, mid-depth golden ochre with a noticeable honeyed orange cast. Its rich saturation gives walls more presence than a pale beige, while the softened brown base keeps it from reading as bright yellow. In daylight, Dutch Gold 2 can show its earthy gold character clearly; under warm evening lamps, it tends to appear deeper and more amber. It suits dining rooms, hallways, and feature walls, especially alongside creamy off-whites, dark chocolate brown, muted olive, or charcoal accents. Pair it with natural oak, woven textures, aged brass, and terracotta-toned ceramics for a grounded, layered interior.
