# Dulux Black

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/black](https://plan-home.com/color/black)

Dulux Black is a deep charcoal with an even, neutral cast, rather than a pitch-black finish. Its #2D2D2D value gives it enough softness to show surface texture and architectural detail, especially in daylight. On walls, Black creates a strong backdrop for pale wood, off-white trim, linen, and brushed metal. It is particularly effective on cabinetry, doors, window frames, or a single feature wall where a full dark room may feel too heavy. Under lower lighting, this shade reads closer to black, while brighter conditions reveal its dark grey character.
