Dulux Bitter Chocolate 2 30YR 07/157

Dulux Bitter Chocolate 2 30YR 07/157 is a deep, muted brown with a clearly visible red cast, reflected in its #5E3B34 color value. It reads warm and earthy rather than near-black, with enough softness to keep large areas from feeling harsh. In bright natural light, the underlying russet-brown tone is easier to see, while lower light makes this shade appear darker and more grounded. Use it on a dining-room wall, library shelving, kitchen cabinetry, or a front door where its depth can provide definition. Pair Bitter Chocolate 2 with warm off-whites, clay tones, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a considered, material-led scheme.
