# Dulux Wholemeal Honey 1

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/wholemeal-honey-1](https://plan-home.com/color/wholemeal-honey-1)

Dulux Wholemeal Honey 1 90YR 19/487 is a deep, earthy orange-brown with a clear red undertone and a sun-baked warmth. Its mid-to-dark depth gives it enough presence for a dining room wall, snug, or statement hallway, especially where pale trim can sharpen its outline. In direct daylight, this shade reads warmer and more terracotta-like, while lower evening light brings out its richer brown base. Pair Wholemeal Honey 1 with chalky cream, muted clay pink, or warm beige, alongside oak, aged brass, woven linen, and natural stone. It can also bring character to painted cabinetry or a front door when surrounded by softer neutral finishes.
