What color is Dulux Fresh Stem?

Dulux Fresh Stem 70YY 63/326 is a light, softened yellow-green with a distinctly earthy cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its muted olive undertone gives it enough depth for full walls, particularly in kitchens, garden rooms, or hallways that benefit from a gentle hit of color. In warm daylight, Fresh Stem reads sunnier and more yellow, while cooler light can bring out its greener, slightly khaki side. Pair it with chalky whites, warm beige, natural oak, rattan, and linen for a grounded scheme. For contrast, deep moss green, muted terracotta, or charcoal accents keep this color from feeling overly sweet.
