What color is Dulux Burnt Autumn 3?

Dulux Burnt Autumn 3 10YR 42/250 is a muted, medium-light clay pink with warm peach and soft red undertones. Its subdued saturation keeps it from reading sugary, giving walls a grounded wash of color rather than a bright blush effect. In direct daylight, Burnt Autumn 3 can show its warmer terracotta side, while lower or cooler light may bring out its dusty rose character. It suits bedrooms, dining rooms, and powder rooms, particularly alongside warm white trim, natural oak, linen, and aged brass. For contrast, pair this shade with deep olive, charcoal, or a softened blue-green rather than a stark, icy white.
