What color is Dulux Nordic Hills?

Dulux Nordic Hills 90YY 15/279 is a deep, muted olive with a distinct yellow-green cast and an earthy, weathered character. Its low lightness gives it real visual weight, making it especially effective on cabinetry, a dining-room wall, or a front door rather than across every surface in a small room. In bright daylight, the yellow undertone is more noticeable; under warm evening lighting, it can appear browner and more subdued. Pair Nordic Hills with chalky off-whites, warm stone, natural oak, aged brass, and linen upholstery to keep the palette grounded. For contrast, soft terracotta, rust, or a dusty blue-grey can add definition without competing with the shade.
