What color is Dulux Auburn Falls 3?

Dulux Auburn Falls 3 60YR 23/650 is a strong, mid-depth orange with a clear red cast, close to the look of fired terracotta or sun-baked clay. Its high saturation gives it real presence, making it especially effective on a feature wall, front door, or painted dining-room cabinetry. In bright daylight, this color reads as lively and warm; under softer evening lighting, its red-orange depth becomes more pronounced. Pair Auburn Falls 3 with warm off-whites, sandy neutrals, charcoal, or deep brown wood to give its intensity room to stand out. Matte black metal, natural linen, and aged brass are also convincing material partners for this shade.
