What color is Dulux Ruby Fountain 6?

Dulux Ruby Fountain 6 90RR 43/290 is a clear rosy pink with a warm red cast and a softly muted finish. Its mid-light depth gives it more presence than a pale blush, while the #E3979B value keeps it gentle rather than overly bright. On bedroom or dressing-room walls, Ruby Fountain 6 can create a warm, enveloping backdrop without making the room feel heavy. Pair it with chalky white trim, pale oak, natural linen, or deep burgundy accents for contrast. It is also well suited to a feature wall, painted furniture, or a small powder room where a fuller pink can be used confidently.
