What color is Dulux Chocolate Sprinkles?

Dulux Chocolate Sprinkles 80YR 17/129 is a muted, medium-deep brown with a noticeably warm, earthy cast. Its softened red-yellow base keeps it from reading as a flat dark brown, giving the color a dusty, clay-like character. In bright natural light, Chocolate Sprinkles appears lighter and more mellow; in lower light, it settles into a deeper, grounded brown. It suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, and snug living spaces, particularly on an accent wall, built-in shelving, or painted cabinetry. Pair this shade with warm off-whites, aged brass, natural oak, linen, and terracotta-toned ceramics for a layered, material-led interior.
