What color is Dulux Cranberry Crunch?

Dulux Cranberry Crunch 99RR 12/469 is a deep, saturated red with a clear berry-leaning cast, reflected in its #A32E39 color value. It has enough darkness to feel substantial on a wall, while the red remains vivid rather than turning brown or burgundy. In bright daylight, the color reads as a rich crimson-red; lower or warmer lighting can make its depth more pronounced. Use it for a dining room feature wall, a small study, or painted cabinetry where a concentrated hit of color is wanted. Crisp off-white trim keeps the look sharp, while pale oak, walnut, black metal, and warm brass provide grounded material pairings.
