What color is Dulux Velvet Truffle 2?

Dulux Velvet Truffle 2 80YR 11/151 is a deep, muted brown with a noticeable warm, earthy cast. Its low-light value 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 more of its warm clay and timber character; in dimmer rooms, it settles into a richer brown. Use Velvet Truffle 2 on a study wall, dining-room cabinetry, or a single architectural feature where a darker finish is wanted. It pairs naturally with warm off-whites, oatmeal textiles, aged brass, walnut, terracotta, and matte black details.
