What color is Dulux Forest Lake 1?

Dulux Forest Lake 1 70YY 21/335 is a deep, muted olive with a strong yellow-green cast and an earthy brown undertone. Its medium-dark value gives walls a grounded look without reading as nearly black, while the restrained saturation keeps it practical for larger areas. In bright daylight, this shade can show more of its olive-yellow character; under warmer lamps, it becomes browner and more subdued. Use it for a study, dining room, boot room, or painted cabinetry where a weightier natural color suits the scheme. Forest Lake 1 pairs particularly well with warm off-whites, aged brass, walnut, tan leather, terracotta, and natural linen.
