What color is Dulux Sumatran Melody 1?

Dulux Sumatran Melody 1 70YR 19/432 is a deep, earthy orange-brown with a clear terracotta character. Its warm red and clay-like undertones give it substantial presence, making it better suited to a feature wall, painted cabinetry, a front door, or a dining room than an entire small room. In bright daylight, this shade reads as a sun-baked rust orange, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out its richer brown base. Pair it with chalky off-whites, muted sand, olive green, or deep charcoal to give the warmth definition. Natural oak, aged brass, linen, and handmade ceramic finishes all sit comfortably alongside this color.
