What color is Dulux Jungle Ginger 2?

Dulux Jungle Ginger 2 50YR 26/461 is a warm, earthy orange-red with a clear terracotta character. Its mid-depth tone has enough softness to feel grounded rather than overly bright, while the rosy clay undertone keeps it lively. In direct daylight, Jungle Ginger 2 can read as a sun-baked coral terracotta; under warmer evening lighting, it settles into a deeper, richer reddish brown. It makes a strong feature wall in dining rooms, kitchens, or entrance halls, and can also bring character to painted cabinetry or a covered exterior door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, sandy neutrals, dark olive accents, natural oak, rattan, and matte black metal for contrast.
