Dulux Summer Surprise 1 48RR 08/222

Dulux Summer Surprise 1 48RR 08/222 is a deep, muted wine-red with a noticeable plum cast. Its low lightness gives it a weighty, enveloping appearance, while the red-violet character keeps it from reading as a straightforward brown or burgundy. In daylight, the color can show its dusky berry undertones; under warm evening lamps, it is likely to look richer and more red-based. Use Summer Surprise 1 for a dining room wall, a cocooning bedroom, or painted cabinetry where a dark focal point is welcome. Pale plaster, soft grey-beige, warm oak, aged brass, and off-white trim provide useful contrast without competing with the shade.
