Harvest Fruits 2

Dulux

The Analysis

Harvest Fruits 2 is a mid-tone apricot that pulls a lot of warmth into a space, effectively acting like a permanent golden hour. With an LRV of 49.93, it reflects a moderate amount of light, which helps brighten dim rooms without being so reflective that it feels clinical or stark.

This is a bold, personality-driven choice that works best as a statement wall or in a dedicated hobby room rather than a full-house neutral. It is too saturated to serve as a subtle backdrop, so treat it as a primary design feature.

History & Origin

This shade leans heavily into the 1970s revival, pulling directly from the warm, earthy palettes popular in Mid-Century Modern design. It avoids the stiff, formal feel of Victorian or heritage colors, opting instead for a retro, approachable character.

How to Use It

Pair this with dark walnut wood tones or matte black metal hardware to ground the brightness and keep it from feeling too saccharine. It works exceptionally well in kitchens or breakfast nooks where its warm, fruit-forward undertones complement natural light.

The Mood

Living with this shade feels consistently energizing and optimistic rather than relaxing. It introduces a cheerful, organic heat to a room, making it a great choice for spaces where you want to feel active and social.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
