What color is Dulux Emerald Delight 3?

Dulux Emerald Delight 3 02GG 21/542 is a rich, saturated green with a clear blue-green cast rather than a yellow or olive base. Its medium-dark depth gives it presence on a full wall, while the crisp colour keeps it from reading heavy. In bright daylight, Emerald Delight 3 can appear cleaner and more vivid; under lower or warmer lighting, it takes on a deeper forest-green character. Use it on cabinetry, a dining-room wall, or a front door alongside soft white, pale grey, warm timber, brass, and dark charcoal details. For a more graphic scheme, pair this shade with muted blush or dusty terracotta accents.
