What color is Dulux Forest Shade?

Dulux Forest Shade 50GY 13/136 is a deep, muted green with a noticeable greyed olive cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its low-light depth gives walls a close, enveloping look, while daylight can bring out the softened yellow-green undertone. Use it in a study, dining room, hallway, or on painted cabinetry where a darker color can add definition without reading as nearly black. Forest Shade pairs well with warm off-whites, clay-toned neutrals, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen. On an exterior door or trim, this shade has enough substance to stand up against pale stone, cream render, or weathered timber.
