What color is Dulux Pharaohs Gold 4?

Dulux Pharaohs Gold 4 35YY 81/233 is a light, creamy golden beige with a clear warm cast. Its soft yellow-gold undertone gives white walls and trim a gentler contrast than a cooler neutral would. In strong daylight, Pharaohs Gold 4 can read as a pale sun-warmed cream, while evening light brings out more of its mellow honey tone. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a light wall color is wanted without the starkness of pure white. Pair it with warm whites, natural oak, rattan, linen, and muted clay or olive accents for a grounded, layered interior.
