What color is Dulux Soft Maplewood 6?

Dulux Soft Maplewood 6 10YY 74/063 is a light, muted beige with a gentle warm cast and a faint peach-tan softness. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the restrained color prevents it from reading as a stark cream. In daylight, Soft Maplewood 6 appears softly neutral and lightly creamy; under warm evening bulbs, its beige warmth becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways where a pale wall color needs more presence than white. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, linen upholstery, muted sage, or medium mushroom-brown accents.
