What color is Dulux Rich Praline 3?

Dulux Rich Praline 3 90YR 29/096 is a muted mid-tone taupe with soft brown-beige warmth and a gently greyed finish. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet or orange, giving walls a grounded, earthy appearance. In warm artificial light, Rich Praline 3 can show more of its biscuit-brown side, while cooler daylight brings out its quieter grey-taupe cast. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a deeper neutral is wanted without the weight of a dark brown. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm stone, aged brass, oak, linen, and charcoal details for a layered interior scheme.
