What color is Dulux Gooseberry Fool 1?

Dulux Gooseberry Fool 1 70YY 18/152 is a muted olive-khaki with a noticeable yellow cast and a softly greyed finish. Its mid-dark depth gives walls definition without reading as heavy, particularly in rooms with plenty of daylight. In brighter light, the earthy yellow-green character comes forward; under warm evening lighting, it can appear more subdued and brown-olive. Gooseberry Fool 1 suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, and grounded kitchen cabinetry, especially alongside off-white trim, aged brass, oak, and woven natural textures. Pair it with chalky creams or warm putty neutrals for a layered scheme, or introduce deep charcoal for sharper contrast.
