What color is Dulux Acorn Cap?
Dulux Acorn Cap 80YR 19/177 is a muted, medium-depth brown with a warm, earthy cast. Its #8D6E5A value reads as a softened brown rather than a sharp chocolate, with subtle clay-like warmth that becomes more noticeable in bright daylight. In lower light, Acorn Cap can look deeper and more grounded, making it especially effective on a dining-room wall, den cabinetry, or a painted fireplace surround. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm greige, aged brass, natural oak, and linen upholstery to keep the palette cohesive. On a larger wall area, use good lighting and lighter neighbouring finishes to prevent the shade from feeling too heavy.
