What color is Dulux Sumatran Melody 5?

Dulux Sumatran Melody 5 70YR 68/118 is a light, warm peach-beige with a softly muted, creamy appearance. Its noticeable orange-red undertone gives it more warmth than a standard neutral beige, while the pale value keeps it from feeling heavy on broad walls. In daylight, this color can read as a gentle apricot-tinted off-white; warmer artificial lighting is likely to bring forward its rosy peach cast. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and living spaces where a warm backdrop is wanted, particularly alongside ivory trim, natural oak, rattan, linen, and terracotta details. For contrast, pair Sumatran Melody 5 with deep olive, clay brown, or charcoal accents rather than cool blue-grey tones.
