What color is Dulux Golden Umber 2?

Dulux Golden Umber 2 20YY 46/425 is a warm, mid-tone golden tan with a clear ochre-yellow cast and a softly earthy base. Its moderate depth gives it more presence than a pale beige, while the muted saturation keeps it from reading as bright orange. In daylight, Golden Umber 2 can show its sunlit honey notes; under warmer evening bulbs, it tends to feel deeper and more caramel-like. It suits dining rooms, hallways, and kitchens, especially on full walls or painted cabinetry where its warmth can anchor the scheme. Pair this color with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, rust-toned textiles, and natural oak, cane, or aged brass.
