What color is Dulux Muted Amber?

Dulux Muted Amber 02YY 52/318 is a light, warm amber-beige with a softly golden cast and enough color to read clearly on a wall. Its #E3B383 value suggests a mellow, sun-warmed tone rather than a bright yellow, with a gentle orange-brown influence that keeps it grounded. In direct daylight, Muted Amber can appear brighter and more honeyed, while lower or cooler light may bring forward its beige, slightly earthy side. It suits living rooms, dining spaces, hallways, and kitchens where a warm wall color can sit comfortably beside natural oak, rattan, linen, and aged brass. Pair it with creamy off-whites for a lighter scheme, or use deep olive, muted terracotta, and charcoal accents to give the warmth more contrast.
