# Dulux Straw Bale

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/straw-bale](https://plan-home.com/color/straw-bale)

Dulux Straw Bale 36YY 70/208 is a light, warm beige with a clear golden-yellow cast and a softly muted finish. Its pale depth keeps walls bright without reading as stark cream, while the beige base gives it more substance than a simple off-white. In daylight, Straw Bale can show its mellow wheat-like warmth; under warm artificial lighting, the yellow undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, kitchens, and hallways where a gentle, sunlit neutral is wanted, particularly on broad wall areas. Pair it with chalky whites, warm oak, natural linen, terracotta, or deeper olive accents for a grounded scheme.
