What color is Dulux Sweet Nougat?

Dulux Sweet Nougat 09YR 61/117 is a light, warm pink-beige with a softly muted, powdery appearance. Its rose-toned undertone keeps it from reading as plain cream, while the low-key saturation makes it suitable for covering larger wall areas. In daylight, this color can look airy and gently blush, while warmer evening lighting is likely to draw out its peachier beige side. Try it in a bedroom, dressing area, or living room with off-white trim, pale oak, linen upholstery, and brushed brass details. For contrast, pair Sweet Nougat with deeper clay browns, dusty terracotta, or restrained olive green accents.
