# Dulux Toasted Clay

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/toasted-clay](https://plan-home.com/color/toasted-clay)

Dulux Toasted Clay 50YR 21/318 is a medium-depth clay brown with clear red-orange warmth softened by a dusty, muted finish. Its #AD6C55 color value gives it an earthy presence that can read more terracotta in warm afternoon light and slightly browner in cooler daylight. Use it on a dining room wall, fireplace surround, or built-in cabinetry where a grounded color can carry the space without becoming overly dark. Toasted Clay pairs well with chalky cream, warm off-white, olive green, and deep charcoal, along with oak, aged brass, linen, and handmade ceramic finishes. On larger walls, give it plenty of natural light or balance it with pale trim to keep the room feeling open.
