What color is Dulux Autumn Fern 1?

Dulux Autumn Fern 1 60YR 19/557 is a deep, warm burnt orange with clear red-orange character and an earthy brown base. Its substantial saturation gives it presence without looking fluorescent, making it especially effective on a feature wall, painted fireplace surround, or kitchen island. In bright daylight, Autumn Fern 1 shows more of its lively terracotta-orange side, while evening light brings forward its darker, clay-like depth. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm beige, muted olive, or charcoal for contrast, and use natural oak, aged brass, linen, and terracotta ceramics to reinforce its grounded look.
