What color is Dulux Cracked Clay 1?

Dulux Cracked Clay 1 70YR 58/091 is a light, muted clay-beige with a noticeable rosy warmth. Its soft, low-saturation appearance keeps it from reading overly pink, instead sitting comfortably between pale terracotta plaster and warm putty. In daylight, this color can feel gently sun-baked, while warmer artificial lighting is likely to bring its blush undertone forward. It suits living-room and bedroom walls particularly well with chalky whites, warm oak, linen upholstery, and aged brass details. For a more grounded scheme, pair Cracked Clay 1 with deeper earthy browns, muted olive greens, or charcoal accents.
