What color is Dulux Hot Paprika 6?

Dulux Hot Paprika 6 30YR 38/337 is a warm, mid-depth coral with a clear terracotta-pink cast. Its #DE8F7F value reads as softened rather than fiery, combining earthy red warmth with a gentle peachy lift. In bright daylight, Hot Paprika 6 can appear fresher and more salmon-toned, while lower light brings out its dustier clay character. It makes a characterful choice for a dining room, hallway, or a single living-room wall, and can also give painted cabinetry a warm, grounded presence. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm beige, muted olive, or deep brown wood, alongside natural linen, terracotta, and brushed brass.
