What color is Dulux Venus Flytrap?

Dulux Venus Flytrap 88YY 38/530 is a mid-depth yellow-green with an earthy olive cast and a notably lively level of saturation. In daylight, it reads as a clear leafy green softened by its warm yellow base, while lower or cooler light can bring out its more muted, khaki-like side. This color has enough strength for a feature wall, painted kitchen cabinets, or a compact dining room where a pale neutral might feel too quiet. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, woven textures, and terracotta for a grounded scheme, or use charcoal and black metal accents for sharper contrast.
