What color is Dulux Jungle Ginger 1?

Dulux Jungle Ginger 1 50YR 12/406 is a deep, earthy red-brown with a clear terracotta cast. Its rich saturation gives it enough presence for a dining room wall, a small study, or painted cabinetry, rather than treating it as a quiet neutral. In bright daylight, the red-orange character is likely to read more clearly, while lower light can draw out its darker brown base. Pair Jungle Ginger 1 with chalky off-whites, warm beige stone, aged brass, and natural oak to keep the scheme grounded. It also makes a strong accent beside muted olive greens or dusty blue-grey textiles.
