# Dulux Desert Dusk

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/desert-dusk](https://plan-home.com/color/desert-dusk)

Dulux Desert Dusk 49YY 26/180 is a muted, earthy yellow-brown with a noticeable olive cast and a softly weathered look. Its medium depth keeps it grounded rather than pale, making it well suited to larger wall areas in living rooms, studies, or dining spaces. In bright daylight, the ochre and khaki notes become clearer, while lower or warmer light can draw out its deeper brown side. Desert Dusk pairs naturally with chalky off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal, and blackened bronze accents. Try it alongside oak, walnut, linen, jute, and aged brass for interiors that lean toward natural, layered materials.
