What color is Dulux Ruby Fountain 2?

Dulux Ruby Fountain 2 07YR 10/489 is a deep, saturated red with a warm, earthy cast rather than a crisp blue-red edge. Its #99282C value gives it substantial depth, making it especially effective on a front door, dining-room wall, fireplace surround, or painted cabinet base. In bright daylight, the red reads clearly and energetically, while lower or warmer evening light brings out its darker, more grounded character. Pair Ruby Fountain 2 with soft warm whites, muted clay tones, charcoal, or natural oak to keep the scheme balanced. Brass hardware, aged leather, and matte black details all sit comfortably alongside this color.
