What color is Dulux Japanese Maze 1?

Dulux Japanese Maze 1 50GY 25/289 is a muted mid-to-deep green with an earthy yellow-green cast, close to weathered foliage rather than a bright botanical green. Its softened saturation keeps it grounded on larger walls, where it can give studies, dining rooms, and garden-facing living spaces a substantial, natural backdrop. In brighter daylight, the green reads clearer and fresher; under warm evening lighting, its olive undertone becomes more noticeable. Japanese Maze 1 suits painted cabinetry or a single architectural feature as well, especially alongside warm white, putty, or deep charcoal. Pair it with oak, aged brass, woven natural fibres, and off-white stone to bring out its organic character.
