What color is Dulux Labrador Sands 1?

Dulux Labrador Sands 1 20YY 23/246 is a mid-depth earthy brown with muted golden-yellow undertones. Its #987B54 value gives it a dry, natural look that sits between ochre, tan, and weathered wood rather than reading as a bright caramel. In daylight, Labrador Sands 1 can show more of its warm sandy cast, while evening lighting tends to deepen it into a richer brown. It has enough presence for a dining room, study, hallway, or exterior detail, and can also make cabinetry feel grounded without becoming too dark. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, clay-toned neutrals, black metal, linen, oak, and aged brass for a layered, material-led interior.
