What color is Dulux Soft Cinnebar 1?

Dulux Soft Cinnebar 1 70RR 16/116 is a muted, medium-deep rose with a gently smoky, greyed finish. Its red-violet cast keeps it warmer than a true mauve, while the restrained saturation prevents it from reading overly pink. In bright daylight, this color can appear like a softened dusty berry; under warmer evening lamps, its brownish undertone becomes more noticeable. It has enough depth for a dining room, bedroom, or snug, especially on a full wall where its subdued character can settle in. Pair Soft Cinnebar 1 with warm off-whites, mushroom greys, dark walnut, aged brass, or natural linen for a grounded, layered interior.
