# Dulux Summer Surprise 2

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/summer-surprise-2](https://plan-home.com/color/summer-surprise-2)

Dulux Summer Surprise 2 50RR 11/286 is a deep, muted berry-red with a noticeable rosy violet cast. Its mid-dark depth gives it more presence than a typical blush or dusty pink, making it especially effective on a feature wall, built-in cabinetry, or a dining room with good natural light. In brighter daylight, Summer Surprise 2 reads as a softened raspberry tone, while evening lighting can bring out its richer wine-like character. Pair it with warm off-whites, mushroom beige, charcoal, or pale oak to keep the scheme grounded. Brushed brass, aged bronze, and natural linen add texture without competing with this color’s saturated red-purple base.
