Deep Fire

M180-7

Deep Fire is a saturated red-orange with a grounded clay base. It has enough midrange lift to work beyond accents, especially in a kitchen nook, entry bench area, or exterior door. Heat is the point.

Cream plaster, dark bronze, or natural oak all make sense beside it. Cool daylight can make it look cleaner and more orange. Around brick or Saltillo tile, compare carefully so the wall does not look accidentally mismatched.

Deep Fire in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
