What color is Dulux Wild Cactus?

Dulux Wild Cactus 90YY 13/177 is a deep, muted yellow-olive with an earthy, slightly weathered character. Its low brightness gives it real weight on walls, where it can read as a shaded olive green rather than a bright botanical hue. In daylight, the yellow cast is likely to feel more apparent, while lower or warmer light can make this shade look browner and more subdued. Wild Cactus suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, and painted cabinetry, especially alongside warm white, clay, aged brass, natural oak, or woven linen. For contrast, pair this color with soft chalky neutrals or a restrained blue-grey rather than crisp, icy whites.
