What color is Dulux Moroccan Sands 6?

Dulux Moroccan Sands 6 39YY 85/156 is a pale, sun-warmed beige with a creamy yellow cast and a soft hint of peach. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the gentle warmth prevents it from reading as a stark off-white. In north-facing rooms it may appear more muted and biscuit-like, whereas warmer daylight brings out its buttery, sand-toned character. Use Moroccan Sands 6 in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways with natural oak, woven linen, rattan, and brushed brass for a cohesive finish. It also pairs well with chalky white trim, muted terracotta accents, and deeper olive or earthy brown details.
