What color is Dulux Dynamite Red?

Dulux Dynamite Red 29YR 19/621 is a saturated, medium-deep red with a clear warm, orange-leaning cast. Its #CD4A38 color value gives it an earthy heat rather than a blue-based crimson look. In strong daylight, Dynamite Red can read brighter and more energetic, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper brick-red character. It makes the strongest impact on a dining-room feature wall, a front door, or painted cabinetry rather than across every wall in a small room. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm taupes, dark walnut, aged brass, or matte black for contrast that keeps the color grounded.
