What color is Dulux Sulphur Springs 6?

Dulux Sulphur Springs 6 45YY 71/426 is a light, sunny yellow with a clear golden cast and enough depth to avoid reading as a plain cream. Its soft brightness brings warmth to north-facing kitchens, breakfast areas, and hallways that need a little more daylight character. In strong sun, Sulphur Springs 6 can appear cleaner and more luminous, while evening light draws out its richer honey-yellow side. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven cane, or terracotta details for a grounded palette. It is especially effective across full walls, though it can also give a small piece of cabinetry or a painted door a cheerful focal point.
