What color is Dulux Velvet Truffle 1?

Dulux Velvet Truffle 1 60YR 07/093 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm, earthy cast. Its low lightness gives it a grounded presence, while the softened reddish-brown undertone keeps it from reading flat or charcoal-like. In bright daylight, this color can show its warm brown character more clearly; in dim rooms, it settles into a darker, cocooning neutral. Velvet Truffle 1 suits dining rooms, studies, or feature walls where a substantial shade feels appropriate, and it can also give painted cabinetry a weighty, furniture-like finish. Pair it with warm off-whites, clay neutrals, aged brass, walnut, leather, and natural linen for a layered, material-led scheme.
