What color is Dulux Gentle Gold 2?

Dulux Gentle Gold 2 20YY 70/138 is a light, warm beige with a noticeable creamy yellow cast and a soft peachy undertone. Its pale depth keeps it from feeling heavy on broad walls, while the warmth is clear enough to give white trim a gentler contrast. In cool daylight, Gentle Gold 2 can appear lightly sand-toned; under warm bulbs, its golden and biscuit notes become more apparent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and north-facing spaces that benefit from a little added warmth. Pair it with off-white, muted clay, olive green, or warm mid-tone wood, and use matte black or aged brass details for definition.
