What color is Dulux Lime Zest 6?
Dulux Lime Zest 6 is a pale, creamy yellow with a soft beige cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its low saturation gives walls a gentle wash of warmth, especially in rooms with daylight. Under cooler artificial light, the color may appear closer to a light ivory, while warm bulbs can bring out its buttery yellow side. Use it in kitchens, breakfast areas, hallways, or bedrooms where a light neutral with a little more character than white is wanted. Pair Lime Zest 6 with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibres, and muted greens or clay-toned accents.
