What color is Dulux Ruby Fountain 1?

Dulux Ruby Fountain 1 00YR 08/406 is a deep, saturated red with a noticeable earthy brown cast rather than a clear blue-red finish. Its #832930 value gives it substantial depth, so it reads as a grounded oxblood-like tone in daylight and becomes richer and more shadowed under low, warm lighting. This shade is particularly effective on a dining-room feature wall, a front door, or painted cabinetry where its density can be appreciated up close. Pair Ruby Fountain 1 with warm off-whites, muted clay tones, dark walnut, aged brass, or blackened metal for a scheme with weight and contrast. On larger walls, ample natural light or lighter surrounding surfaces will help keep the color from feeling too enclosed.
