# Dulux Ruby Fountain 3

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/ruby-fountain-3](https://plan-home.com/color/ruby-fountain-3)

Dulux Ruby Fountain 3 98RR 12/480 is a deep, saturated red with a subtle berry-cool cast rather than an orange or brick-red base. Its strong depth gives it real presence, making it especially effective on a dining-room feature wall, a powder-room wall, or painted cabinetry. In bright daylight, the red appears clearer and more vivid, while lower or warmer lighting draws out its darker wine-like character. Pair Ruby Fountain 3 with soft off-whites, charcoal, dusty pinks, or warm natural timber to keep the scheme grounded. Brass hardware, aged bronze, and dark stained wood are particularly convincing alongside this shade.
