# Dulux Intense Chestnut

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/intense-chestnut](https://plan-home.com/color/intense-chestnut)

Dulux Intense Chestnut is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm reddish cast beneath its charcoal-like depth. In bright daylight, its brown and subtle russet notes become clearer, while low or north-facing light can make it read closer to a smoky dark taupe. It has enough weight for a dining room, study, or snug, particularly on a single feature wall or built-in cabinetry. Pair Intense Chestnut with soft cream, warm stone, dusty clay, or faded olive for contrast that keeps the room grounded. Natural oak, cognac leather, aged brass, and textured linen complement this color especially well.
