What color is Dulux Silken Sunrise 2?

Dulux Silken Sunrise 2 23YR 45/369 is a warm, mid-light coral pink with a clear peach-red cast. Its #EC9486 color value gives it enough saturation to read as a deliberate wall color rather than a barely-there blush. In daylight, this shade can appear fresher and peachier, while lower, warmer lighting brings forward its rosy salmon tones. It suits bedrooms, dining areas, and powder rooms where a soft but noticeable wash of color is wanted. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted clay tones, pale oak, or brushed brass for a grounded finish, or use it on cabinetry and an interior door as a focused accent.
