What color is Dulux Sicilian Lime?

Dulux Sicilian Lime 66YY 61/648 is a mid-light yellow with a distinct green cast, landing between sun-warmed mustard and sharp citron. Its rich, slightly earthy saturation gives it more weight than a pale lemon, so it reads clearly on a full wall rather than fading into the background. In bright daylight, the yellow side becomes more pronounced, while lower light can bring forward its olive-leaning undertone. Use this shade in a kitchen, dining area, or playful hallway where its depth can carry the space. It pairs particularly well with warm white trim, natural oak, terracotta, charcoal grey, and brushed brass details.
