What color is Dulux Nordic Sails 1?

Dulux Nordic Sails 1 10YR 15/098 is a deep, muted brown with a soft rosy-grey cast that keeps it from reading as flat or overly earthy. Its low lightness gives it a grounded, cocooning presence, while the restrained saturation makes it more subtle than a typical chocolate brown. In daylight, Nordic Sails 1 can show its warm clay undertones; under warm evening lighting, it becomes richer and more enveloping. It suits dining rooms, studies, snug bedrooms, or a dramatic hallway, especially when used across walls and trim for a continuous look. Pair it with chalky off-whites, dusty blush tones, aged brass, natural oak, and textured linen to bring out its quiet warmth.
