What color is Dulux Sulphur Springs 1?

Dulux Sulphur Springs 1 20YY 12/263 is a deep, earthy yellow-brown with an olive cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its low lightness gives it a weighty, shaded appearance, making it especially effective on cabinetry, a dining room wall, or a small study where darker color can feel intentional. In strong daylight, the muted ochre notes may become clearer, while evening light tends to draw out its brown, olive-leaning depth. Pair Sulphur Springs 1 with warm off-whites, clay-toned neutrals, aged brass, oak, and natural linen for a layered, material-focused scheme. It can also make a strong exterior accent on a front door or painted woodwork beside pale stone or cream siding.
