What color is Dulux Fireside Embers?

Dulux Fireside Embers 54YR 22/344 is a mid-depth, earthy orange-brown with clear terracotta and clay-red character. Its warm, muted finish brings noticeable color to a room without reading as bright orange, making it especially effective on a feature wall, painted alcove, or lower cabinetry. In strong daylight, this shade can show more of its sunbaked orange warmth, while evening light tends to draw out its deeper brown-red side. Pair Fireside Embers with chalky off-whites, warm beige, olive green, or soft charcoal for a grounded palette. It also sits naturally alongside oak, walnut, aged brass, leather, and textured linen.
