What color is Dulux Golden Bark 1?

Dulux Golden Bark 1 00YY 09/186 is a deep, muted brown with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its low lightness gives it substantial visual weight, while the brown reads slightly golden rather than grey or blackened. In bright natural light, Golden Bark 1 can show more of its warm ochre-brown character; under softer evening lighting, it appears richer and more grounded. Use it on a dining-room feature wall, built-in cabinetry, or a front door where a dark natural shade suits the architecture. Pair this color with warm off-whites, clay tones, aged brass, oak, leather, and textured linen to keep the scheme cohesive.
