# Dulux Golden Sands

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

Dulux Golden Sands 40YY 49/408 is a warm, mid-tone golden beige with a noticeable ochre cast rather than a pale neutral look. Its #D7B468 value gives it a sun-baked quality, sitting between muted yellow and sandy tan with enough depth to read clearly on a full wall. In bright daylight, the yellow-gold character becomes more apparent, while lower or warmer light can bring out its earthy, browned side. Golden Sands suits living rooms, dining areas, and hallways where a grounded warm color is wanted without moving into orange. Pair it with chalky off-whites, deep olive greens, terracotta accents, natural oak, rattan, or linen for a cohesive, material-led scheme.
