# Dulux Intense Truffle

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

Dulux Intense Truffle is a muted mid-tone taupe with a noticeable warm brown cast, softened by a veil of gray. Its low saturation keeps it grounded rather than overly rich, making it read as a calm earthy neutral in daylight. In warmer artificial light, Intense Truffle can appear slightly deeper and more brown, while cooler light draws out its gray-beige side. It suits living-room walls, bedrooms, and painted cabinetry where a darker neutral is wanted without the weight of charcoal. Pair it with creamy off-whites, soft clay tones, aged brass, oak, linen, and textured stone for a layered, natural-looking scheme.
