What color is Dulux Coral Canyon 1?

Dulux Coral Canyon 1 54YR 42/452 is a clear, mid-tone coral with a noticeable orange cast and a soft pink influence. Its high saturation gives it a lively presence, making it better suited to a feature wall, front door, or painted dining chairs than to an entire room in a small space. In bright daylight, Coral Canyon 1 reads fresh and peachy, while warmer evening lighting draws out its richer red-orange side. Pair it with warm white trim, pale sand tones, or light oak to keep the look grounded. For more contrast, deep teal, muted blue-green, or charcoal accents create a crisp counterpoint to this color.
