What color is Dulux Praline Melt?
Dulux Praline Melt 02YY 22/055 is a muted mid-tone neutral with a softly warm, grey-brown cast. Its low saturation keeps it grounded and understated, reading more like weathered taupe than a pronounced beige. In bright daylight, the color can appear lighter and slightly greyer, while evening lighting brings forward its gentle brown warmth. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a darker neutral is wanted without making the walls feel overly heavy. Pair Praline Melt with off-white trim, faded charcoal, natural oak, linen, and brushed brass for a layered, tactile interior.

What are Dulux Praline Melt undertones?
Praline Melt is a midtone, very muted earthy, slightly muddy brown. The HEX sample has a subtle yellow-orange bias, but its low chroma turns that hue into a neutral-looking color rather than a clear yellow-orange. Warm bulbs can make it look creamier or more golden, while cool daylight may mute that warmth and pull it closer to beige or greige.
