What color is Dulux Satsuma Spice?

Dulux Satsuma Spice 40YR 28/563 is a lively, mid-depth orange-red with a clear coral cast. Its warmth is pronounced, but the softened red undertone keeps it from reading like a sharp traffic-cone orange. In bright daylight, it looks fresh and sunlit; under warm evening lamps, it deepens toward a richer terracotta-red. Use Satsuma Spice on a dining-room feature wall, a painted kitchen island, or front-door detailing where its energy can be appreciated in smaller doses. It pairs particularly well with chalky whites, warm beige, muted clay tones, pale oak, rattan, and brushed brass.
