What color is Dulux Adobe Pink 3?

Dulux Adobe Pink 3 90RR 39/226 is a mid-depth muted pink with a clear rosy-red cast rather than a peach or lilac lean. Its softened saturation gives it a powdery, slightly weathered appearance on broad walls, while still providing enough color to define a room. In daylight, Adobe Pink 3 reads as a calm dusty rose; under warm evening lighting, the red in the shade becomes more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and small sitting areas, and can also make a characterful choice for painted cabinetry or a fireplace surround. Pair it with warm off-whites, soft taupes, dark brown wood, aged brass, or deep burgundy accents for a layered, grounded scheme.
