What color is Dulux Sun Flare?

Dulux Sun Flare 22YY 57/627 is a bright golden yellow with a clear orange cast, close to the warmth of sunlit marigold. Its strong saturation gives it real presence, especially in rooms that need more energy than a soft cream or muted ochre can provide. In direct daylight, this color reads clean and sunny; under warmer evening bulbs, its orange undertone becomes more noticeable. Use Sun Flare on a feature wall, kitchen cabinetry, a front door, or painted furniture rather than across every wall in a compact room. It looks particularly sharp alongside crisp white, deep charcoal, warm terracotta, and natural oak or rattan.
