What color is Dulux Wild Poppy?

Dulux Wild Poppy 02YR 20/536 is a deep, saturated red with a noticeable rosy cast, sitting between classic red and raspberry pink. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for a feature wall, while the clear colour keeps it from reading brown or brick-like. Use Wild Poppy on a dining-room wall, a painted door, or cabinetry where a concentrated hit of colour is wanted. It looks especially effective beside warm whites, soft blush neutrals, charcoal, and natural oak or walnut finishes. For a sharper contrast, pair this shade with muted blue-green accents or dark metal hardware.
