What color is Dulux Dipped Chocolate?

Dulux Dipped Chocolate 06YY 08/048 is a deep, muted brown-grey with a softly warm cast rather than a sharp black appearance. Its low lightness gives walls a close, enveloping look, while the restrained colour keeps the finish grounded and matte-looking even in brighter rooms. In daylight, this shade can read as earthy charcoal; under warm artificial light, its brown notes become more apparent. Use it for a dining room, snug, study, or dramatic hallway, or apply it to cabinetry and interior doors for definition without the hardness of pure black. Pair Dipped Chocolate with chalky off-whites, warm stone shades, aged brass, oak, linen, and dark leather.
