What color is Dulux Amber Queen 2?

Dulux Amber Queen 2 80YR 49/382 is a light, warm orange with a clear peachy-apricot cast and a softened clay undertone. Its mid-light depth keeps it bright enough for broad walls, while the warmth gives it more presence than a pale neutral. In strong daylight, Amber Queen 2 can read as fresh and sun-warmed; under evening lighting, its orange notes become rounder and slightly earthier. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, hallways, or a feature wall in a living space, especially alongside chalky cream, warm white, muted olive, or dusty blue-grey. Try it with natural oak, terracotta tile, linen upholstery, and aged brass for a grounded, material-led scheme.
