Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/golden-fern-4](https://plan-home.com/color/golden-fern-4)

Dulux Golden Fern 4 35YY 78/269 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a soft creamy cast and a noticeable golden undertone. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the muted warmth prevents it from reading as sharp or citrusy. In bright daylight, this shade can appear close to pale butter yellow; under warmer artificial light, its honeyed notes become more apparent. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and north-facing spaces that benefit from a little visual warmth. Pair Golden Fern 4 with chalky whites, light oak, woven natural fibres, or muted green accents for a grounded, lived-in scheme.
