What color is Dulux Chilli Pepper?

Dulux Chilli Pepper 05YR 13/387 is a deep, earthy red with a muted, slightly browned cast rather than a bright scarlet finish. Its medium-dark depth gives walls a grounded presence, while the restrained saturation keeps the color from feeling overly sharp. In daylight, Chilli Pepper can read as a warm brick-red; under softer evening lighting, it becomes richer and more wine-toned. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and small doses on cabinetry or a fireplace surround, where its depth can define architectural details. Pair it with warm off-whites, clay neutrals, dark wood, aged brass, or black metal for a considered, material-led interior.
