What color is Dulux Caramel Sand 1?

Dulux Caramel Sand 1 20YY 24/177 is a muted mid-tone brown with a sandy, yellowed warmth and a gently softened finish. Its moderate depth gives walls more presence than a pale neutral without making a room feel heavily shaded. In bright daylight, this color can read as a dry, sun-warmed tan, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper biscuit-brown character. It suits living rooms, hallways, and dining spaces, especially alongside cream upholstery, natural oak, rattan, linen, and aged brass. Caramel Sand 1 also makes a grounded choice for cabinetry or a feature wall when paired with off-white trim and darker walnut details.
