What color is Dulux Bongo Jazz 2?

Dulux Bongo Jazz 2 42YR 43/439 is a warm, mid-tone coral with a clear peachy-orange cast and a softly muted finish. Its rosy warmth is noticeable without reading as pink, giving walls a sun-baked terracotta feel that remains light enough for everyday rooms. In bright daylight, Bongo Jazz 2 looks fresher and more apricot-toned, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper clay-coral character. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, and social living areas, as well as a painted alcove, fireplace surround, or feature wall. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm beige, dusty olive, natural oak, rattan, and aged brass for a grounded interior palette.
