What color is Dulux Frosted Papaya?
Dulux Frosted Papaya 60YR 31/368 is a mid-depth warm orange-pink with an earthy, clay-like cast. Its #CD8161 value suggests softened terracotta and peach undertones rather than a bright fruit-orange finish. In direct daylight, this color can read warmer and clearer, while lower or north-facing light may bring out its muted brownish-pink side. It has enough depth for a dining room, hallway, or sunlit bedroom wall, and can also give painted cabinetry a grounded, handmade look. Pair Frosted Papaya with chalky off-whites, warm beige, natural oak, linen, aged brass, or deep olive accents for a material-rich scheme.

LRV of Frosted Papaya
Frosted Papaya has an LRV of 31% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 31%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
