# Dulux Caramel Crunch

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/caramel-crunch](https://plan-home.com/color/caramel-crunch)

Dulux Caramel Crunch 21YY 45/405 is a warm, mid-depth golden tan with a clear yellow-orange cast. Its #D7A762 color value gives it enough richness to read as a noticeable wall color rather than a pale neutral. In bright daylight, it can look sunnier and more honeyed, while evening lighting tends to bring out its deeper toasted quality. Use it in dining rooms, kitchens, or hallways where warm wood, aged brass, terracotta, and cream upholstery can reinforce its earthy tone. For contrast, pair Caramel Crunch with muted blue-greys or soft charcoal details rather than crisp, icy whites.
