What color is Dulux Sultana Spice 1?

Dulux Sultana Spice 1 70YR 18/184 is a muted mid-tone brown with a clear warm, earthy cast. Its blend of soft clay, cinnamon, and weathered wood notes gives it more character than a standard beige while keeping the overall look grounded. In bright daylight, this shade can read as a softened terracotta-brown, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper, wood-like depth. Use Sultana Spice 1 on a dining-room wall, a snug, or painted cabinetry where a substantial neutral is wanted. It pairs particularly well with creamy off-whites, dusty olive greens, charcoal accents, natural oak, linen, and aged brass.
