What color is Dulux Indian Ivy 5?

Dulux Indian Ivy 5 90YY 48/500 is a muted yellow-green with a distinct olive cast, sitting at a medium-light depth rather than reading as a bright citrus shade. Its softened saturation gives it an earthy, slightly chalky appearance that feels especially at home in kitchens, utility rooms, and garden-facing living spaces. In strong daylight, the yellow notes come forward and make the color appear fresher; lower or warmer light draws out its more subdued olive side. Indian Ivy 5 suits full walls where a neutral with more character is wanted, and it can also bring personality to painted cabinetry. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibres, aged brass, and deeper moss or charcoal accents for a grounded scheme.
