Dulux Treacle Tart 1 90YR 25/323 is a medium-depth earthy brown with a clear baked-clay orange cast. Its #AD7A51 value gives it a warm, softened appearance rather than a dark chocolate or sharply red-toned brown. In bright daylight, it can read as a dusty terracotta brown, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its richer caramel and russet notes. Use Treacle Tart 1 on a dining-room wall, a sheltered entryway, or painted cabinetry where its warmth can feel grounded without becoming too heavy. Pair it with chalky off-whites, muted olive greens, warm taupes, aged brass, natural oak, and woven textures.
