What color is Dulux Treacle Tart 5?

Dulux Treacle Tart 5 90YR 76/086 is a light, warm peach-beige with a softly creamy cast. Its yellow-red base gives the color a gentle apricot undertone, while its high lightness keeps it from feeling heavy or overly pink. In bright daylight, Treacle Tart 5 reads as a clean, sun-warmed neutral; under warmer evening lighting, its peach notes become more noticeable. It suits bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas where a pale wall color needs more warmth than a standard beige or off-white. Pair it with chalky whites, muted terracotta, natural oak, rattan, and brushed brass for a grounded, lightly tonal scheme.
