What color is Dulux Sundrenched Saffron 3?

Dulux Sundrenched Saffron 3 20YY 53/423 is a warm, mid-light golden orange with a softly muted, sun-baked quality. Its saffron-yellow base carries a noticeable peachy amber cast, giving it more depth than a simple buttery yellow. In bright daylight, this color reads as clear and honeyed; under warmer lamps, it shifts toward a richer apricot-gold. It can bring welcome warmth to a kitchen, dining area, or north-facing room, particularly on a feature wall or painted cabinetry. Pair Sundrenched Saffron 3 with chalky off-whites, dusty terracotta, olive greens, pale oak, woven rattan, or aged brass for a grounded, natural-looking scheme.
