What color is Dulux Poison Apple?

Dulux Poison Apple 80RR 12/430 is a deep, saturated red with a clear berry-pink cast rather than an earthy brick tone. Its strong color depth makes it especially effective on a dining-room wall, a dramatic entryway, or painted cabinetry where a full, confident finish is wanted. In brighter light, the red appears livelier and more vivid, while lower light draws out its darker wine-like character. Pair Poison Apple with warm white trim, pale blush plaster, or light oak to give it breathing room, or use charcoal and blackened metal for a sharper contrast.
