# Dulux True Joy

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/true-joy](https://plan-home.com/color/true-joy)

Dulux True Joy is a warm, golden yellow with a lightly muted, earthy cast that keeps it from reading as sharp or acidic. Its medium depth gives it enough presence for a feature wall, painted furniture, or kitchen cabinetry, while larger wall areas can feel sunny without becoming overly bright. In direct daylight, this shade shows its clear honey-gold character; under warmer artificial light, it can lean deeper and more ochre-like. Pair it with soft off-whites, clay neutrals, charcoal accents, or deep green for contrast, and use natural oak, rattan, or brushed brass to echo its warmth.
