# Dulux Sea Nettle

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/sea-nettle](https://plan-home.com/color/sea-nettle)

Dulux Sea Nettle 87YY 27/274 is a muted olive green with a noticeable yellow cast, sitting at a medium-dark depth rather than reading as a bright botanical green. Its softened, earthy character gives walls a grounded look, especially in studies, dining rooms, hallways, or kitchens with natural wood. In strong daylight, Sea Nettle can show more of its dusty yellow-green side, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its deeper olive tone. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm stone shades, aged brass, oak, or blackened metal for a considered, natural-material palette. It has enough depth for full-room walls but also makes a practical choice for cabinetry or a painted exterior door.
