What color is Dulux Polar Flame 1?

Dulux Polar Flame 1 08YY 56/528 is a clear, sun-warmed orange with a soft apricot cast rather than a deep red or rust base. Its light-to-mid depth keeps the color bright and noticeable on a full wall, especially where natural light can bring out its peachy golden side. In lower or warmer artificial light, Polar Flame 1 may read richer and more orange. It suits lively kitchens, dining areas, children’s rooms, or a single accent wall where a pale neutral would feel too quiet. Pair it with creamy whites, light sand tones, warm oak, rattan, and muted olive accents to give the warmth some contrast.
