What color is Dulux Finest Burgundy?

Dulux Finest Burgundy 78RR 06/137 is a deep, muted red with a noticeable plum-brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its low-light depth gives walls a cocooning appearance, while daylight can bring out the restrained red and violet notes within the color. Finest Burgundy is particularly effective in dining rooms, studies, and bedrooms, where its richness suits full walls or a single painted focal point. Pair it with warm off-whites, putty neutrals, dark walnut, aged brass, or soft blush textiles for contrast without making the scheme feel sharp. On cabinetry or interior doors, this shade creates a weighty, tailored detail against pale walls.
