Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/chalky-downs-1](https://plan-home.com/color/chalky-downs-1)

Dulux Chalky Downs 1 30YY 20/193 is a muted mid-depth brown with a warm, yellow-ochre cast. Its softened, earthy character keeps it from looking overly orange, giving walls a grounded presence without becoming too dark. In brighter daylight, this color shows more of its dusty golden warmth, while evening light draws out its deeper brown base. It suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, and snug living spaces, particularly alongside warm white trim, aged brass, natural oak, and linen upholstery. Chalky Downs 1 can also give kitchen cabinetry or a single feature wall a substantial, quietly rustic finish.
