What color is Dulux Rich Earth?
Dulux Rich Earth 30YY 17/209 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable golden-yellow cast, reflected in its #7F6948 color value. It has enough depth to ground a room without reading as near-black, making it especially effective on dining room walls, studies, or built-in cabinetry. In warm artificial light, Rich Earth can appear more ochre-brown, while cooler daylight brings out its quieter, slightly weathered brown character. Pair it with soft cream, clay beige, muted olive, or charcoal, along with oak, aged brass, linen, and natural stone. Used on an accent wall or lower cabinetry, this shade gives pale surrounding finishes a stronger sense of contrast.
