What color is Dulux Rum Caramel 4?

Dulux Rum Caramel 4 10YY 48/071 is a muted, mid-light beige with a soft warm cast and a gently greyed finish. Its low saturation keeps it from reading overly yellow or sugary, giving walls a quiet stone-like appearance instead. In north-facing or cooler daylight, Rum Caramel 4 can look more restrained and greige, while warmer lamps bring forward its subtle caramel-beige warmth. It suits living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a pale neutral is wanted without the starkness of off-white. Pair this shade with chalky whites, warm oak, linen upholstery, aged brass, and deeper brown accents for a grounded interior palette.
