What color is Dulux Autumn Embrace?

Dulux Autumn Embrace 70YR 19/557 is a rich burnt orange with a clear earthy-red base and a softly browned finish. Its depth gives it more presence than a light terracotta, making it especially effective on a dining room wall, a fireplace surround, or painted cabinetry. In bright daylight, this color reads as warm and lively; under softer evening lighting, the brown undertone becomes more noticeable. Pair it with chalky cream, warm beige, muted olive, or deep chocolate tones, alongside oak, aged brass, linen, and natural leather. For a smaller dose, Autumn Embrace makes a strong accent on a front door, interior trim, or a single architectural niche.
