What color is Dulux Peanut Butter?

Dulux Peanut Butter 96YR 353/309 is a mid-depth warm tan with a noticeable earthy orange-brown cast. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading overly golden, giving walls a grounded, softly sun-baked look rather than a bright caramel effect. In strong daylight, the warm clay-like notes become clearer, while lower or warmer artificial light can make the shade appear deeper and more brown. It suits living rooms, dining areas, hallways, or a cocooning bedroom, particularly alongside cream, warm off-white, dusty terracotta, and dark chocolate accents. Pair Peanut Butter with oak, walnut, woven natural fibers, aged brass, or matte black hardware for a tactile, layered interior.
