What color is Dulux Brick Red?
Dulux Brick Red is a deep, earthy red with clear brown undertones, giving it the grounded look of fired clay rather than a bright primary red. Its moderate depth makes it especially effective on a front door, built-in shelving, or a single dining-room wall where a stronger color can be contained. In warm daylight, Brick Red reads as a sunbaked russet; under cooler artificial light, its darker brown base becomes more noticeable. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm beige, charcoal, or muted olive for a considered palette. Natural oak, aged brass, black iron, and terracotta-toned ceramics all suit this shade’s warm, mineral character.
