What color is Dulux Amber Queen 4?

Dulux Amber Queen 4 80YR 72/159 is a light, warm peach-beige with a soft blush cast and a creamy, sunlit appearance. Its high lightness keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the noticeable orange-red warmth prevents it from reading as a plain neutral. In daylight, Amber Queen 4 can appear like a gentle apricot-tinted off-white; under warm artificial light, its peach undertones become more pronounced. It suits bedrooms, dining areas, and north-facing rooms that benefit from a little visual warmth, and can also bring a welcoming tone to painted cabinetry. Pair it with chalky white trim, light oak, natural linen, terracotta details, or muted olive accents for contrast.
