What color is Dulux Lime Squeeze?

Dulux Lime Squeeze is a muted yellow-green with an olive, khaki cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium depth and softened saturation make it read as an earthy botanical shade, especially alongside natural wood and woven textures. In bright daylight, the yellow undertone may come forward slightly, while lower or cooler light can make it appear more subdued and olive-toned. It suits kitchen cabinetry, a study, or a feature wall where a green with more weight than a pale sage is wanted. Pair Lime Squeeze with warm off-whites, clay beige, charcoal accents, and oak or walnut finishes for a considered, nature-led palette.
