What color is Dulux Gooseberry Fool 2?

Dulux Gooseberry Fool 2 70YY 26/137 is a muted, medium-depth olive beige with a noticeably earthy cast. Its yellow-based undertone gives the color a gentle warmth, while the softened grey-brown influence keeps it from reading too green. In bright daylight, Gooseberry Fool 2 can appear like a weathered khaki, while lower or warmer light brings out its deeper, more olive-toned side. It is particularly effective on living-room walls, studies, or kitchen cabinetry paired with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and textured linen. For contrast, use charcoal, deep brown, or a dusty clay accent rather than crisp blue-white shades.
