What color is Dulux Gooseberry Fool 6?

Dulux Gooseberry Fool 6 70YY 83/075 is a very light, softly yellowed off-white with a gentle creamy-beige cast. Its high lightness keeps walls airy, while the muted color content prevents it from reading as a stark or clinical white. In north-facing rooms it may appear a little more hushed and oatmeal-like, while warmer daylight and evening lamps bring out its subtle buttery warmth. Gooseberry Fool 6 suits living rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens where a pale backdrop is wanted without the sharpness of bright white. Pair it with natural oak, pale stone, linen upholstery, chalky greens, or deeper olive accents for a grounded, layered interior.
