# Dulux Lime Zest 5

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/lime-zest-5](https://plan-home.com/color/lime-zest-5)

Dulux Lime Zest 5 is a light, muted yellow-green with a softly creamy cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its pale depth keeps it airy on broad walls, while the subtle green undertone adds more character than a standard off-white or beige. In warm artificial light, this color can read as gentler and more buttery; clearer daylight brings out its yellow-green direction. It suits kitchens, breakfast areas, and sunlit hallways, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, natural linen, or brushed brass. For contrast, pair Lime Zest 5 with dusty olive, soft charcoal, or deep blue-green accents.
