What color is Dulux Spicy Sandalwood 6?

Dulux Spicy Sandalwood 6 80YR 45/427 is a warm, mid-depth peachy terracotta with a clear orange-red base softened by its lightness. Its #EC9F6C value gives it a sun-baked, sandy appearance rather than a heavy clay finish, making it especially effective where a room needs visible color without becoming dark. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a lively apricot-coral; under warmer evening lighting, it shifts toward a deeper, earthier terracotta. Use Spicy Sandalwood 6 on dining room walls, a painted fireplace surround, or kitchen cabinetry for a confident color statement. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dusty pinks, muted olive greens, natural oak, rattan, and aged brass for a grounded palette.
