# Dulux Pale Citrus

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/pale-citrus](https://plan-home.com/color/pale-citrus)

Dulux Pale Citrus is a light, creamy yellow with soft golden-beige undertones rather than a sharp, acidic citrus look. Its high brightness gives walls a sun-warmed appearance, while the muted saturation keeps it gentle enough for larger areas. In daylight, Pale Citrus reads as a clean buttery cream; under warmer evening bulbs, its yellow notes become more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, hallways, and children’s spaces, especially alongside warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and soft terracotta details. For contrast, pair this shade with muted sage green, dusty blue, or charcoal accents.
