What color is Dulux Sicilian Summer 1?

Dulux Sicilian Summer 1 30YR 12/292 is a deep, earthy red-brown with a noticeable terracotta cast. Its warm, clay-like character reads richer in south-facing light, while lower or cooler light can bring out its darker, more grounded brown side. This shade has enough depth for a dining room, snug, or hallway, particularly where a strong wall color is wanted without moving into bright red. Pair it with chalky off-whites, sandy beige, warm taupe, or muted olive, alongside oak, aged brass, linen, and natural stone. Sicilian Summer 1 also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or a front door, where its dense pigment can give smaller surfaces clear definition.
