# Dulux Lime Zest 3

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/lime-zest-3](https://plan-home.com/color/lime-zest-3)

Dulux Lime Zest 3 is a light, muted yellow-green with a noticeable olive cast rather than a bright citrus look. Its softened, slightly dusty character keeps the color gentle on large walls, where it can read like warm straw in daylight and become more khaki-toned under warmer evening lamps. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and sunlit living areas, especially alongside off-white trim, pale oak, woven rattan, and natural linen. For contrast, pair Lime Zest 3 with charcoal, deep moss green, or aged black metal details. It can also bring a quiet wash of color to cabinetry or a painted alcove without dominating the room.
