What color is Dulux Earth Glaze 3?

Dulux Earth Glaze 3 10YY 40/608 is a rich golden-orange shade with an earthy ochre cast. Its medium depth and clear saturation give walls a sun-baked look, especially in rooms with warm daylight. In lower light, Earth Glaze 3 can read deeper and more amber, making it particularly effective on a fireplace surround, dining-room wall, or painted built-in. Pair it with chalky creams, muted clay tones, olive greens, or deep brown wood for a grounded scheme. Black metal, natural linen, and terracotta tile also provide crisp, tactile contrast against this color.
