What color is Dulux Melon Sorbet?

Dulux Melon Sorbet 90YY 62/264 is a light, muted yellow-green with a softened olive cast and a gently chalky appearance. Its low-contrast, earthy character keeps it from reading as bright yellow, giving walls a calm, sun-faded look instead. In daylight, the yellow notes are more noticeable, while lower or cooler light can bring out its subdued green-beige side. Melon Sorbet suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, utility spaces, and garden-facing living areas where a natural palette feels appropriate. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibres, and clay or terracotta details, or add depth with olive, deep moss, and charcoal accents.
