What color is Dulux Ochre Glow?

Dulux Ochre Glow 22YY 38/423 is a mid-tone golden ochre with a softly muted, earthy cast. Its #CA9A51 value reads warm and sunbaked rather than bright yellow, making it substantial enough for a full wall without feeling sharply saturated. In daylight, this color can show its mellow honey-gold character, while warmer artificial light is likely to deepen its brownish ochre presence. It suits dining rooms, hallways, and kitchens, particularly alongside chalky off-whites, deep olive greens, or softened clay tones. Pair it with natural oak, aged brass, woven textiles, and matte black details for a grounded, tactile scheme.
