# Dulux Mexican Mosaic 2

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/mexican-mosaic-2](https://plan-home.com/color/mexican-mosaic-2)

Dulux Mexican Mosaic 2 53YR 17/504 is a deep, earthy orange-red with the grounded character of baked terracotta. Its noticeable red base keeps the color rich rather than bright, while the orange cast brings warmth to a room. In direct daylight, Mexican Mosaic 2 can read as a clearer clay orange; under warm evening lighting, it settles into a darker, more russet-toned shade. It has enough depth for a dining room, entryway, or sunlit kitchen wall, and it also makes a strong choice for painted cabinetry or a recessed feature wall. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm beige, muted olive, dark brown wood, woven fibers, and aged brass for a layered, earthy scheme.
