What color is Dulux Honey Nut?

Dulux Honey Nut 41YY 53/306 is a mid-tone golden beige with a clear ochre cast, sitting between soft tan and muted honey yellow. Its #D6BB82 value gives it noticeable warmth without becoming overly bright, making it well suited to living rooms, dining areas, and hallways that need more character than a standard neutral. In direct daylight, Honey Nut can read lighter and more golden, while lower or north-facing light may bring out its deeper beige-brown side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, clay-toned accents, olive greens, or dark walnut for a grounded palette. It is especially effective on full walls or painted cabinetry alongside linen, rattan, aged brass, and warm natural wood.
