What color is Dulux Cappuccino Candy 2?

Dulux Cappuccino Candy 2 80YR 30/187 is a muted mid-tone brown with a warm, softly rosy cast. Its #AD8972 value reads as an earthy blend of caramel, clay, and weathered tan rather than a sharp orange or yellow-based beige. In bright daylight, this shade can appear lighter and more sand-toned, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its dusky terracotta-brown depth. It suits living room walls, dining spaces, or bedroom cabinetry where a grounded color is wanted without going too dark. Pair Cappuccino Candy 2 with chalky off-whites, deep olive, charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, or linen upholstery for a layered, material-led interior.
