What color is Dulux Rouge Noir?

Dulux Rouge Noir 52RR 06/105 is a deeply shadowed wine-red with a noticeable plum-brown cast. Its low lightness gives it an almost blackened appearance in dim rooms, while daylight reveals the softened red and violet tones beneath. Rouge Noir suits intimate spaces such as dining rooms, studies, or bedrooms, particularly on a feature wall, built-in cabinetry, or a painted door. Pair it with warm off-whites, dusty rose, muted taupe, or dark walnut for a layered scheme, and add aged brass or blackened metal for contrast. On large walls, good natural or layered artificial light will help preserve its color rather than letting it read simply as near-black.
