What color is Dulux Hot Paprika 3?

Dulux Hot Paprika 3 26YR 14/548 is a deep, saturated red with a clear orange-terracotta cast. Its warmth is especially noticeable in daylight, where it reads as a lively paprika red, while lower evening light can make it appear richer and more earthen. This color has enough depth for a dining room, snug, or hallway wall, but it is equally effective on kitchen cabinetry or a painted front door. Pair Hot Paprika 3 with chalky off-whites, warm beige plaster, dark stained wood, and aged brass for a grounded scheme. For a sharper contrast, use it alongside charcoal accents or muted blue-green details.
