# Dulux Soft Moss 2

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/soft-moss-2](https://plan-home.com/color/soft-moss-2)

Dulux Soft Moss 2 10GY 40/296 is a muted mid-tone green with a noticeable yellow-olive cast, reflected in its softened #A3AC74 appearance. It has enough greyed-down depth to feel earthy rather than bright, making it especially effective on larger wall areas in kitchens, studies, or garden-facing rooms. In warm artificial light, this color can lean more olive and golden, while cooler daylight brings out its subdued green character. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm stone, natural oak, rattan, and brushed brass for a grounded palette. Soft Moss 2 also suits painted cabinetry or a single accent wall where a gentle, nature-based color is wanted without a strong green statement.
