# Dulux Brass Buckle

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

Dulux Brass Buckle 12YY 28/226 is a mid-to-deep warm brown with muted golden ochre undertones. Its #A48561 value gives it an earthy, slightly weathered look rather than the brightness of a true yellow or metallic brass. In daylight, the color can read as a softened caramel-brown, while warmer evening lighting brings forward its golden cast. Brass Buckle suits dining rooms, studies, and hallways where a deeper wall color can add definition without becoming overly dark. Pair it with creamy off-whites, clay neutrals, black accents, and natural oak or walnut for a grounded palette. It also has enough depth for painted cabinetry or a single accent wall.
