What color is Dulux Country Tweed?

Dulux Country Tweed 09YY 18/226 is a mid-to-deep earthy brown with a clear golden-ochre cast. Its warmth is noticeable without becoming orange, giving walls a grounded, natural look that suits studies, dining rooms, and snug living areas. In bright daylight, the yellow-brown undertone comes forward; under lower evening light, this shade reads deeper and more muted. Pair Country Tweed with chalky cream, warm stone, aged brass, oak, or tan leather to reinforce its earthy character. It can hold its own on all four walls in a well-lit room, while also making a strong choice for cabinetry, a fireplace surround, or a painted exterior door.
