What color is Dulux Salisbury Stones 2?

Dulux Salisbury Stones 2 30YY 36/185 is a muted mid-tone beige with a noticeable warm yellow-brown cast. Its earthy, softly weathered appearance gives walls more presence than a pale neutral without becoming dark or heavy. In bright daylight, the yellow warmth is likely to read more clearly, while lower light can bring out its subdued brown-beige side. Salisbury Stones 2 suits living rooms, hallways, and dining spaces where natural timber, linen, rattan, or aged brass are part of the scheme. Pair this color with creamy off-whites for contrast, or use deeper olive, charcoal, and warm terracotta accents to reinforce its grounded character.
