What color is Dulux Bracken Salts 1?

Dulux Bracken Salts 1 30YY 27/226 is a muted mid-tone brown with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its #9F8662 color value suggests soft golden-beige undertones rather than a greyed or sharply red brown. On walls, this shade can give living rooms, studies, and dining spaces a grounded look, appearing a little richer in low light and more sandy in bright daylight. Pair it with chalky off-whites, deep olive greens, or charcoal details for contrast, and bring in oak, rattan, aged brass, or natural linen to echo its warmth. Bracken Salts 1 is especially effective on cabinetry or a single feature wall where its medium depth has room to register.
