What color is Dulux Mexican Mosaic 1?

Dulux Mexican Mosaic 1 50YR 09/244 is a deep, earthy red-brown with a noticeable baked-clay character. Its low lightness gives it a grounded, substantial presence, while the muted warmth keeps it from reading as a bright brick red. In daylight, Mexican Mosaic 1 can show its dry russet and terracotta leanings; under warm evening lighting, it becomes richer and more brown-toned. It makes a strong feature wall in a dining room, study, or entryway, and is equally effective on lower cabinetry or a painted fireplace surround. Pair this color with chalky cream, warm beige, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen for a layered, material-led interior.
