What color is Dulux Nutmeg Cluster 2?

Dulux Nutmeg Cluster 2 50YR 31/160 is a mid-depth, muted warm brown with a noticeable rosy clay cast. Its #B28D80 color value keeps it soft rather than overly orange, reading as a grounded earthy neutral on larger wall areas. In bright daylight, the warm red-beige undertone is clearer, while lower or warmer artificial light can make the shade appear deeper and more brown. It suits dining rooms, bedrooms, and snug living spaces, especially alongside cream trim, pale oak, linen, and aged brass. For contrast, pair Nutmeg Cluster 2 with dusty blue-grey textiles or deep olive accents rather than stark white.
