What color is Dulux Sweet Citrus?

Dulux Sweet Citrus 60YY 55/504 is a warm, mid-tone yellow with a noticeable golden-ochre cast rather than a pale lemon character. Its muted depth gives it more weight than a bright sunny yellow, making it especially effective on a feature wall, kitchen cabinetry, or a painted dining-room nook. In strong daylight, Sweet Citrus reads clearer and more cheerful, while lower or warmer artificial light can draw out its earthy mustard notes. Pair it with chalky whites, soft clay tones, olive greens, or deep charcoal for contrast, and consider natural oak, rattan, or aged brass alongside it.
