Earth Fired Red

S200-7

Earth Fired Red is a deep burnt umber with a red clay core. The clay undertone suits brick, leather, and stone. Use it for an entry door, dining room niche, or lower cabinets where a grounded accent makes sense.

The shade looks good with limestone and blackened bronze. In a dark room, it can absorb a lot of light. Keep surrounding surfaces lighter so the color keeps its shape visually.

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.
