Dulux Sumatran Melody 3 70YR 45/261 is a mid-tone peach with a softened terracotta cast, shown here as #D9A387. Its orange-red warmth is muted by a dusty, slightly beige quality, so it reads less bright than a fresh apricot. In strong daylight, the color can appear clearer and more peach-forward, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its earthy clay side. It suits living-room walls, dining spaces, or a feature wall where a warm but measured color is wanted. Pair Sumatran Melody 3 with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, matte black details, or olive-green textiles for contrast.
