What color is Dulux Pharaohs Gold 5?

Dulux Pharaohs Gold 5 45YY 83/187 is a light, creamy yellow with a clear warm cast and a soft peachy-beige undertone. Its high brightness keeps it airy on large walls, while the noticeable yellow pigment prevents it from reading as plain off-white. In north-facing rooms, this shade can help counter cooler daylight with a gentle sunlit effect; warmer afternoon light will draw out its richer buttery notes. Pharaohs Gold 5 suits kitchens, dining spaces, hallways, and bedrooms where a pale warm backdrop is wanted without the weight of a deeper gold. Pair it with chalky whites, muted terracotta, warm wood, woven natural fibres, or deep olive accents for contrast.
