Pharaohs Gold 6

Dulux

The Analysis

Pharaoh’s Gold 6 is a high-LRV colour, meaning it reflects over 80% of the light that hits it, effectively brightening dark corners and making small rooms feel significantly more open. Its creamy, light-reflective quality prevents it from looking dingy while providing more depth than a standard stark white.

This colour works best as a primary wall choice for common areas where you want a seamless, airy flow. It serves as an excellent neutral foundation that won't compete with your furniture or artwork.

LRV 82

History & Origin

It leans into a classic, timeless aesthetic that feels established and permanent. While it bridges well into modern interiors, it draws on the traditional palette of well-lit, stately rooms found in older architecture.

How to Use It

This shade excels in hallways and living rooms where you want to maximize natural light. Pair it with light oak or walnut wood tones and matte black hardware to add a modern, crisp contrast to the warmth of the wall.

The Mood

This is a highly livable, neutral choice that provides a restful and stable backdrop for daily life. Because it lacks harsh yellow undertones, it feels clean and grounded rather than overly energetic or stimulating.

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.
