What color is Dulux Sulphur Sunrise?

Dulux Sulphur Sunrise 62YY 78/618 is a bright, light yellow with a warm golden cast, reflected in its clear #FCE462 color value. It has enough saturation to read as a deliberate yellow rather than a muted cream, yet its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls. In daylight, Sulphur Sunrise appears crisp and sunny; under warmer bulbs, it shifts toward a softer butter-yellow. It is especially effective in kitchens, breakfast areas, playrooms, and north-facing rooms that need a warmer visual lift. Pair this color with clean white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibres, or charcoal accents for contrast, and consider it for an interior door, cabinet front, or painted feature wall when a full room of yellow feels too bold.
