What color is Dulux Golden Bark 5?

Dulux Golden Bark 5 09YY 57/689 is a bright, warm golden-orange with a clear sunny cast and noticeable saturation. Its yellow-led warmth gives walls an energising presence, while the orange depth keeps it from reading like a pale butter yellow. In direct daylight, this color can appear lively and almost marigold-like; under evening lamps, it shifts toward a richer amber tone. It suits a kitchen, dining nook, playroom, or a single feature wall where a strong hit of color is wanted. Pair Golden Bark 5 with warm white trim, natural oak, woven rattan, terracotta details, or deep charcoal for contrast.
