What color is Dulux Bongo Jazz 3?

Dulux Bongo Jazz 3 48YR 50/372 is a light, warm peach with a clear rosy-pink cast. Its soft mid-light depth keeps it noticeable on a wall without becoming overly sugary, especially in rooms with plenty of daylight. Warm bulbs can draw out its coral side, while cooler natural light may make the pinkness appear cleaner and more muted. Use Bongo Jazz 3 in a bedroom, powder room, or dining nook alongside chalky white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, and brushed brass. For contrast, pair it with muted olive, dusty terracotta, or a deep charcoal accent.
