Fire Cracker

PPU2-16

Fire Cracker is a strong brick red with orange warmth under the surface. Red leads fast. It belongs on a front door or island base rather than every wall in a busy room.

Shaded exteriors will mute it nicely, but bright sun can intensify the heat. Use charcoal with aged wood nearby. Watch the Fire Cracker sample beside gray flooring and bronze handles in evening light.

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.
