What color is Dulux Winter Pumpkin?
Dulux Winter Pumpkin 48YR 26/159 is a rich, earthy orange-red with a clear terracotta cast. Its medium depth and strong color presence make it especially effective on a feature wall, front door, or painted dining-room cabinetry. In bright daylight, the orange side appears more pronounced, while evening light can draw out its deeper red-brown character. Pair it with chalky warm whites, sand-colored plaster, olive green, or deep charcoal for contrast. Natural oak, aged brass, woven rattan, and matte black hardware give this shade a grounded, tactile setting.
