What color is Dulux Fire Cracker 6?

Dulux Fire Cracker 6 10YR 38/318 is a muted coral-pink with a noticeable earthy warmth rather than a bright, candy-like finish. Its #DE8E89 tone sits at a medium-light depth, combining soft red with a peachy, clay-leaning cast. In strong daylight, Fire Cracker 6 can read fresher and rosier, while evening light tends to draw out its warmer, dustier character. It has enough presence for a dining room, bedroom, or sunlit hallway, and also makes a characterful choice for a painted cabinet or interior door. Pair it with warm off-whites, sandy beige, pale terracotta, natural oak, woven cane, or aged brass for a grounded palette.
