What color is Dulux Auburn Leather?

Dulux Auburn Leather is a deep, earthy red-brown with a pronounced warm cast and a gently muted finish. Its #7D362A value reads as a grounded mix of brick red and dark brown, rather than a bright or sharply orange rust. In strong daylight, Auburn Leather can show more of its red warmth, while lower or cooler light brings forward its shadowy brown side. It has enough depth for a dining room, study, or snug, especially on a feature wall, built-in cabinetry, or painted woodwork. Pair this shade with soft warm whites, clay neutrals, aged brass, natural oak, and tactile materials such as linen or leather.
