What color is Dulux Burnished Brass?

Dulux Burnished Brass is a muted, medium-dark brown with a clear golden ochre cast, resembling aged wood or softly weathered metal rather than a bright metallic finish. Its low-key saturation keeps the color grounded, while the warm yellow-brown undertone prevents it from reading flat. In direct daylight, Burnished Brass can show more of its earthy gold; under warm lamps, it settles into a deeper, richer brown. It suits studies, dining rooms, and snug living areas, especially on cabinetry, a feature wall, or interior woodwork. Pair it with warm off-whites, clay tones, deep olive greens, and natural materials such as oak, linen, leather, and brushed bronze.
