What color is Dulux Smooth Maple?
Dulux Smooth Maple 00YY 48/171 is a light, muted tan with a gentle peach-beige cast. Its warmth is noticeable without becoming strongly yellow, giving walls a softly sun-warmed appearance in daylight. In cooler north-facing light, Smooth Maple can read more like a restrained beige, while evening lighting draws out its rosy, earthy notes. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a pale neutral needs more presence than off-white. Pair it with chalky creams, warm greys, terracotta accents, oak furniture, and natural linen for a grounded interior scheme.
