What color is Dulux Amber Queen 3?

Dulux Amber Queen 3 80YR 57/293 is a light, sun-warmed peach with a clear apricot-pink cast. Its mid-light depth keeps it from reading as a sugary pastel, while the noticeable saturation gives walls a gentle wash of color. In bright daylight, Amber Queen 3 can appear fresher and more peach-forward; under warmer lamps, its rosy orange undertones become more pronounced. It suits bedrooms, dining areas, and softly colored living rooms, particularly when paired with warm white trim, pale oak, rattan, or natural linen. For contrast, try muted sage green, dusty blue, or deep terracotta accents rather than stark black or icy grey.
