What color is Dulux Hot Paprika 2?

Dulux Hot Paprika 2 23YR 10/308 is a deep, earthy red with a noticeable brown cast, giving it the look of aged terracotta or fired clay. Its muted intensity keeps it from feeling overly bright, while the warm red base brings weight and character to a room. On a full wall, this shade suits dining rooms, entryways, and snug living spaces where a darker backdrop is welcome; it can also give kitchen cabinetry a grounded, heritage-inspired look. Pair Hot Paprika 2 with chalky cream, warm beige, dusty pink, or soft olive, along with oak, walnut, linen, and brushed brass finishes. Brighter daylight will show more of its red-clay character, while evening lighting tends to draw out its deeper brown-red depth.
