What color is Dulux Marmalade Preserve?

Dulux Marmalade Preserve 02YY 55/518 is a clear, sun-warmed orange with a creamy apricot cast rather than a deep red spice tone. Its high brightness keeps the color lively on walls, especially where daylight can bring out its golden character. In lower or warmer artificial light, Marmalade Preserve reads richer and more amber, giving it extra presence on a feature wall, kitchen cabinetry, or a painted dining nook. Pair it with soft off-whites, muted clay neutrals, or pale warm wood to let the orange remain the focal point. For contrast, charcoal details, deep olive green, or blue-grey textiles can ground this shade without cooling it down too much.
