What color is Dulux Rum Caramel 2?

Dulux Rum Caramel 2 10YY 08/093 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm earthy cast. Its low value gives it a near-charcoal presence in dim rooms, while daylight brings out the softened caramel-brown character beneath. Rum Caramel 2 is particularly effective on cabinetry, interior doors, built-in shelving, or a single accent wall where its depth can be appreciated up close. Pair it with warm off-whites, clay neutrals, aged brass, natural oak, or textured linen to keep the scheme grounded. On larger walls, ample natural light and lighter trim will prevent this shade from feeling too heavy.
