What color is Dulux Nectar Jewels 2?

Dulux Nectar Jewels 2 80YR 31/419 is a warm, earthy orange-brown with a clear terracotta cast. Its medium depth and softened saturation keep it grounded rather than bright, making it especially effective where a room needs more visual weight. On walls, it can read sun-baked and clay-like in strong daylight, while evening light brings out its deeper brown notes. Use it in dining rooms, kitchens, hallways, or on a feature wall alongside warm white trim, natural oak, rattan, and aged brass. Nectar Jewels 2 also suits painted cabinetry or exterior details when paired with creamy neutrals and muted green planting.
