What color is Dulux Moroccan Velvet 4?

Dulux Moroccan Velvet 4 70RR 15/400 is a deep, muted rose-red with a noticeable berry cast. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for a dining room, snug, or bedroom feature wall without reading as a bright red. In daylight, the dusty pink-red character is most apparent, while lower or warmer light can make the shade feel richer and more wine-toned. Pair Moroccan Velvet 4 with soft plaster white, warm greige, aged brass, walnut, or natural linen to keep the palette grounded. It also makes a considered choice for painted cabinetry or a front door when balanced with quieter surrounding neutrals.
