What color is Dulux Spinning Wheel?

Dulux Spinning Wheel 26YY 09/028 is a deep, muted charcoal-brown with a softly warm cast. Its low lightness gives walls a grounded, enclosing look, while the restrained colour keeps it from reading as stark black. In daylight, Spinning Wheel can appear like a weathered dark grey; under warmer lamps, its brown undertone becomes more noticeable. It suits studies, dining rooms, hallways, and dramatic living-room accent walls, and can also bring weight to cabinetry. Pair it with chalky off-whites, warm stone, aged brass, oak, and textured linen for a layered, natural interior.
