# Dulux Pepper Red

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/pepper-red](https://plan-home.com/color/pepper-red)

Dulux Pepper Red 10YR 15/500 is a deep, muted red with a slightly weathered, brick-like character rather than a bright scarlet finish. Its moderate saturation gives it presence on a wall without reading as overly glossy or candy-toned. In strong daylight, Pepper Red can appear clearer and more red-forward, while evening light draws out its darker, more grounded side. It suits dining rooms, studies, and entrance areas, or can be used on cabinetry and a single feature wall where a fuller color is wanted. Pair it with soft warm whites, charcoal accents, aged brass, dark timber, or natural oak for contrast and texture.
