Dulux Velvet Truffle 3 80YR 21/118 is a muted mid-depth brown with a softly warm, greyed cast. Its #8C7567 value reads as an earthy taupe-brown, with restrained rosy-beige warmth rather than strong orange or red. In bright daylight, this shade can appear lighter and more stony, while lower or warmer lighting brings out its deeper brown character. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and dining spaces where a grounded wall color is wanted without the weight of a very dark neutral. Pair Velvet Truffle 3 with chalky off-whites, warm greige textiles, aged brass, natural oak, and charcoal accents for a considered, material-led scheme.
