What color is Dulux Candy Love 3?

Dulux Candy Love 3 70RR 38/246 is a muted mid-tone pink with a soft, dusty cast rather than a bright candy finish. Its red-pink base carries enough warmth to sit comfortably beside cream, putty, pale oak, and brushed brass. In bright daylight, Candy Love 3 can read clearer and slightly fresher, while lower light brings out its more subdued rose character. It makes a considered choice for bedroom walls, a powder room, or painted cabinetry where a full neutral would feel too plain. For contrast, pair this shade with deep burgundy, charcoal, or dark walnut accents.
