What color is Dulux Auburn Falls 4?

Dulux Auburn Falls 4 68YR 28/701 is a vivid, medium-deep orange with a clear red cast, shown here as #E56E27. Its strong saturation gives it real presence, making it better suited to a feature wall, painted front door, kitchen island, or a set of dining chairs than to every wall in a small room. In bright daylight, this shade reads as lively orange, while lower or warmer light can draw out its richer red-orange character. Pair Auburn Falls 4 with soft off-white, warm beige, charcoal, or deep brown to give it visual breathing room. Natural timber, terracotta, black metal, and woven textures are especially convincing companions for this color.
