What color is Dulux Hemp Cloth?

Dulux Hemp Cloth 47YY 40/227 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable golden-khaki cast. Its earthy yellow-brown base gives it more character than a standard neutral, while the softened saturation keeps it from looking overly yellow. In bright natural light, Hemp Cloth can read as a light, weathered tan; under warmer lamps, its golden undertones become more apparent. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a grounded wall color is wanted without moving into deep brown. Pair it with chalky off-whites, aged brass, warm oak, linen upholstery, and charcoal or deep olive accents for contrast.
