What color is Dulux Caramel Blush 1?

Dulux Caramel Blush 1 10YY 26/321 is a mid-depth golden brown with a muted, earthy cast. Its yellow-based warmth is clear, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading as bright orange or overly rustic. In daylight, this color can show a dry ochre-caramel character; under warm lamps, it becomes richer and more brown-toned. It suits dining rooms, studies, hallways, or a kitchen island where a grounded accent is wanted. Pair Caramel Blush 1 with chalky cream, warm off-white, deep olive, or charcoal, alongside oak, walnut, aged brass, and natural linen.
