What color is Dulux Willow Creek 1?

Dulux Willow Creek 1 30GY 40/531 is a clear mid-tone green with a noticeable yellow cast, giving it the fresh, leafy character suggested by its #86B34F value. It has enough saturation to read as a deliberate color rather than a muted neutral, yet its medium depth keeps it comfortable across larger wall areas. In bright daylight, the yellow-green aspect is likely to feel livelier, while lower or warmer light can bring out a softer olive influence. Use Willow Creek 1 on a kitchen wall, garden-facing living room, or painted exterior detail alongside warm white trim, pale wood, rattan, and natural linen. For contrast, pair it with charcoal, deep navy, or terracotta-toned accents rather than competing bright greens.
