What color is Dulux Lemon Chiffon 2?
Dulux Lemon Chiffon 2 46YY 74/602 is a light, sunny yellow with a clear golden cast, reflected in its #FFD562 color value. It has enough saturation to read as a definite yellow rather than a pale cream, while its high lightness keeps it from feeling heavy on broad walls. In bright daylight, Lemon Chiffon 2 will appear crisp and cheerful; under warmer artificial light, its golden notes are likely to become more pronounced. Use it in kitchens, breakfast rooms, play spaces, or on a feature wall where a lively wash of color is wanted. Pair this shade with clean white trim, pale oak, natural rattan, or muted blue-grey accents to give the yellow some contrast.
